3.2 Carrera engine project (to be sold)

[syncroid]

I just received my core engine today that I purchased here on Pelican.1986 3.2 with 74 backdate exhaust
I purchased it less exhaust system.

I am going to do a full rebuild on this motor and thought it would be kind of fun to document and share the process from start to finish.

When I am finished with the motor, it will be up for sale.
I am expecting about a two month time period.

Hop on and enjoy the ride.

There will be two ways to view the pictures. I will post a link to a database and post pictures here.

Engine forum maybe? Not that anyone will be disinterested.

Sub'n. Keep it here in OT!

I thought about that but it would be nothing new to see there. The OT area made more sense to me. Most of the people in the engine forum do their own work. I figured the OT would attract a wider audience. People are going to see how much work actually goes into a full rebuild. I promise! It won't be boring.

I'm intrigued. I'm working on a 3.2 myself. Keep it here. Keep PPOT relevant.

[Ray 911s]

I'm about am week ahead of you, but working at a glacial pace! Subscribed.

[Cooper911SC]

I'm interested too.
Need to decide on rebuilding a 3.0 SC engine or swapping in a 3.6 I have on hand...

Very cool. I think it would be fun to do the same, but don't have the time, money or space.

Are you going to go stock or just address any weaknesses or add any performance upgrades?

It doesn't really seem like that tough a question to me.

I sent out a set of cams yesterday to have reground to 964 specs. I will also send the ones out from this motor. I could go either way. It depends on who wants the motor when I get to that point. I plan on putting new barrels and pistons in it too.

A friend had a 3.6 in an SC. I had to rebuild the 915...

Keep it here, I like a good rebuild thread! What's the going rate for a 3.2 now, $15k?

Bump the compression a bit Dan. It makes a 3.2 come alive; especially with 964 cams. Have one in my 73.5.

Price?

I was thinking the same thing. I remember when I had my '88 reading about the upgrade from a Barn-Door MAF to a hotwire, with bigger injectors, slightly bumped compression and a free flowing exhaust. Sounded like a real hoot.

Kind of a tough question at this point since I have no idea how much it is going to need. A lot of the hardware is corroded and will need to be plated or replaced.
Made a little more progress today.

I like the nice round number there Joe Bob.

[Joe Bob]

I'm sure you will make change. GLWS and the rebuild.
