911E Build Advice
First time posting to this community of 911’s
And was looking for some advice. Acquired a 1970 911e coupe very solid car mostly all there But engine. Here is my dilemma. A - build Hotrod 911t engine carbs e cams etc. B - try to piece engine to be period correct $ C - wait for complete Period engine to pop up. As we all know that can be expensive. Due to budget was planning in 2-3 year goal. Before I go buying parts, was looking for any advice. Thanks

ROW '78 911 Targa

Blue/yellow wire usually goes to bottom fuse for sportomatic.
Middle fuse is for relays

Do you dream of having a unique car or are you just out to make money ?
As Magnus says "go with your gut feeling" |

911eproject, what about option d -- drop in a 3.2l Carrera engine (or a 3.0l SC engine) and enjoy a healthy power boost? -- can always revert back to period-correct, etc. if the proper engine comes up (and recoup much of your investment in a 3.2 or 3l)

It crossed my mind to do that, but might need 915 trans. Instead of 901. Based on prices for such engines 15k or so with 915. Lots of engine options.
Ebay has 72-73 complete mfi engine cores for about 8k but it would not be period correct. I Want car as long term vehicle. Thanks! Input guys |

Be as period correct as possible. and if it's not really the car you want sell it for a ridiculously high amount of money and buy yourself a very tidy SC or 3.2
