Hi Folks,

I've just purchased my first "vintage" 911 (1980 911 Carrera) that has a 3.2L Carrera motor and 915 transmission.

The old receipt given with the motor shows that in 2012 a shop performed a compression test on engine and #3 cylinder showed as 30 psi. They removed, disassembled and cleaned engine, replaced all head studs and sent heads, rods, pistons and cylinders out to machine shop.

List of items replaced were pistons (JE), Rings, Studs, Gasket kit, Valve Guide, exhaust valve, clutch disc, ignition points, spark plugs, etc.

However, on the receipt it says in handwriting "Long Stroke 3.2, Pointed Heads and G80 Cams, 280hp estimated" and total bill amounted to $10k.

I've searched around and there's limited information on Long Stroke 3.2 motors. From what I gather the long stroke provides more low end torque, less rpms to get to the power and less top end speed...correct?

Is there anything else I should know about a long stroke 3.2 engine?

While the motor is out right now is there anything you can suggest that I look at before putting it back into the car?

Former owner said that when the engine was mated to a carb setup it felt great up to 4000rpms but then "fell flat". He figured it was a carb issue. The car will be put back together with the Carrera intake system.

Suggestions?
