Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mike! I haven't been on Pelican for a long time. Hope you have a great year. I hope to start tear down of the second 74carrera this year.
George, the 2.7 engines can be very expensive to "bring back "to stock specs due to the weakness in the cases etc.. but you have to inspect it to even get a close estimate, you may be lucky and find a low time solid engine. most of the time its more economical to start with a 3.0
I have a '77 2.7 911/85 that needs a total (stockish) rebuild. I bought the engine as a long block, I have no history on it. This engine will be going in a street driven 66 912 with a 4 speed transaxle. I am thinking PMO 40 mm carbs for induction. I am in the saving money mode right now, can you give me a ball park figure on what a rebuild like this would cost. The time frame is not critical, the 616 engine runs good and does not smoke, just doesn't make enough power.
mike ,george nevius here. you worked some years ago with my brother kyle on an engine you built for his car at the time. did not know but thought i could mention to you that i have my 1980 911 turbo up for sale on pelican. if you may know of anyone that have an interest please let me know. it is listed under cars for sale ;1980 911 turbo and is white. i believe it would serve someone who is an enthusiast or may use it as a platform for weekend racing. let me know your thoughts since you are well versed and respected in the german brand. regards,george
just measure across the fan blades for a close dia., they will fit up to 89 but as they got later the alternators got more powerful and the fan housing got deeper to accomidate that.

Hey Mike, I got 1550. for the aluminum '66 case and I threw in the intermediate shaft with oil pump to be nice. Also, got 500. for the 915 trans locally in Temecula. Still have the crank, rods, and soaking the pistons. Also, still have the 11 blade fan and housing. Do you know how far up the chain this housing & fun can be used on engines.... I'm guessing thru '89 .... and can replace 5 bladers '75- '77. Also, where do you measure the diameters on these fans. I see that some are 245...?? mm and others aren't.
