The 3.0 is the "strongest" engine to date. It's true, I read it on the internet.

If it's on the internet it must be true.

Well, that's the proof - black on white. The 3.0SC is the strongest!

...if just the f/injection wouldn't blow up.

Gotta love the 3.0

He didn't write eVeR - so must not be true.

When he said "strongest..." I took it as meaning toughest, not most powerful.

Many very knowledgeable Porsche experts have been quoted as saying that the 3 liter engine was very robust, bulletproof, strong, etc.
I have little reason to doubt those statements.
It doesn't have the mag case, it doesn't have the small rod bolts, it doesn't have the valve guide problems or the head sealing problems,
all it has is lower dilavar head studs
