A ‘70S engine should have MFI. Yes, having carburetors does hurt its performance.- typically 10-15 hp and possibly in drivability. The value of these engines is increasingly with originality. Many internal mods can gain a lot of power and most can be un-done if necessary. Some mods are very desirable; piston squirters, oil by-pass, etc. If you can reinstall the MFI, do it.
Best, Grady

Grady,thanks for the reply,I have a chance to buy a #'s matching S that has been modified over the years to kind of a turbo look which I know could be brought back but with the carbs I wonder if there really is any sense in it,does this hurt the value drastically?thanks marty

Reinstalling the MFI is just another part of the restoration. A matching numbers ’70 911S is probably worth the effort. Having carbs should reduce the sale price. Is the MFI available with the car?
The critical issue is; what is the rust and prior crash damage situation? Are you sure they are matching numbers? Best, Grady

I shouldn't say matching # because that I am not sure of but the vin on the window frame and by the battery box are the same.I wish I had it here but recall that it started witt 91103 and the # on the fan casing was 6300315.there is no mfi but is that a bolt on in the future if you can find it?thanks,Marty
