I need some feedback

I’m planning on rebuilding my 3.0L 1978 Euro engine. After reading Wayne Dempsey book there are 2 options I’m interested in
1) Case 3.0L Crank 3.0L (70.4mm), JE Pistons (95mm) Cylinders 3.0L (Nikasil) Cam 964, CIS Heads 3.0L, Displacement 3.0L Ratio 9,8:1

Option
2) Case 3.0L Crank 3.0L (70.4mm), JE Pistons (95mm) Cylinders 3.0L (Nikasil) Cam S, Carburetors Heads 3.0L 36mm ports, Displacement 3.0L Ratio 10:1

Now this will be a summer car money issue isn’t an issue because I plan on taking my time. This will be a street car no racing but love just knowing that I have the power if ever needed. Also if I ever wanted to sell which option will have 911 enthusiasts calling? What type of power shound I expect from either option. In addition I will install SSI's, and a 1974 muffler.

Thanks in advance

I personally would either stay with Mahle matched pistons and cylinders - or upgrade to the LN engineering Nickies and matched JE pistons with a larger bore - email user cnavarro Charles Navarro, LN Engineering - http://www.LNengineering.com - Aircooled Precision Performance. And see what he recommends.

If I had a 3.0 euro engine - I would probably go with the highest bore P & C - and aggressive set of cams and some PMO's to top it off.

anyone else care to add thier two cents
