3.2 Motronic or 3.0 w/ webers?
Guys suppose that you just bought a car with a 3.0L engine with weber carbs, electromotive crankfire ignition, and a 1974 style exhaust, but you also had a stock 1989 3.2L engine in the beginnings of a rebuild (it has been torn down).
Would you: A) Keep the 3.0, and sell the 3.2 as pieces B) Keep the 3.0, rebuild the 3.2 and sell it C) Take the 3.0 out to sell, and replace it with a freshly rebuilt 3.2 D) I doubt I could afford it but I could concider selling both and doing a 3.6 conversion, but I think that would be outside my price range. With the subsequent brake and transmission upgrades. |

Keep the 3.2; there's no substitute for displacement.

Go with the 3.2
I know the carbed 3.0 would probably be more fun( sound & throttle response). But the 3.2 would not need fine tuning of the carbs, get better mileage, and has more displacement. |

Yeah and the 3.2 will pass emissions anywhere. The 3.0 with webers and no catalyst really makes it difficult to get passed, and also I have heard of it being difficult to set the webers to changing altitude which in southwest Colorado there is plenty of. But I do not know if that is the truth. I've never driven a 3.2 to compare to the 3.0 that I was in this weekend which makes it difficult to make a decision upon driving experience. I was amazed at the throttle response of the 3.0 though. It was my first ride in a 911 since a booster seat, and I could not believe it! It was a lot of fun to cruise around in for a half hour or so.

How about option E) (Just for the fun of it) - adopt the 3.2 induction onto the 3.0?
Seriously - keep the 3.2 and sell the 3.0. There's a guy who's friends with Addiction MS who needs a 3.0, like, NOW, for class racing. Look up Addiction MS and send him a PM.
