Have one in my 73.5 with the Max Moritz 3.2 kit......Don't do smog where I live, but Luv the engine.......

My SC has 9:8:1 compression but stock cams and pulls pretty well. Considering 964 cams as well so I look forward to reading the responses. I pass smog in Norway where cats didn't become mandatory before 1989 so I'm exempt. I know that its mean to tell you that, I used to live in Cali.

Yes, it will.

I kind of have one. My car is a ROW '79 model, but has the pistons and cylinders from a ROW '82 with 964 cams. The heads were ported and polished and the rotating assembly was balanced and blue printed. When I bought it, it still had the stock ROW '79 exhaust. It ran really, really well, pulled hard to the redline, but had a noticeable step up in power at ~3500 rpm. Since buying the car, I installed a set of SSI's and that REALLY woke the engine up. It pulls like a freight train from right off idle to the redline. But that doesn't help you living in California.

My next step is to install EFI with a Carrera intake. That little bit more free air passing into the heads will make it even faster.
