I have a 3.2SS running 46mm PMO's, based on a Euro spec 79 SC engine.

Case cleaned and line bored
Cams are near DC60
P/C are 10,5 comp race pistons with ceramic coating and nicasil coated Cylinders, Bore is 98 mm. Originally they were Mahle 95mm Cylinders, bored to 98mm and coated, so no need to change the bolt locations in the engine block.
Port Size is Inlet 39, outlet 35 mm.
46mm PMO carbs
Lightweight tinware
Original Crank, which was polished and within standard tolerances.
Heads refurbished and bored out for twin plugging (just in case). Currently its only single plug.
Carillo ‘copy’ con rods. The builder believes they are from the same factory, but not branded Carillo. They look identical and weigh the same
GT3 oil pump
Steel head studs. Can’t remember which type.
Lightweight flywheel and front pulley wheel
Crank balanced on its own and also with the con rods on
Piston lightened (builder removed some material from the inside of the piston)
Stronger valve springs (don’t remember the details)
MSD ignition
Distributor recurved by Barry at IAE.
SSI heat exchangers
Early (73) Dansk stock muffler.
3.0 SCRS air filter.

Great fun, very revvy and highly recommended. Its in my 70T, which weighs 1000 kg. No idea how many BHP it has, but it leaves my friends 996 C4S for dead.

Next steps: Performance muffler maybe and twin plug. There's no need for either, but the engine builder says it will run smoother and I'll get a few more BHP out it.

I'd love a turbo, but I live in Switzerland and the 3.2SS is perfect for blasting around the Swiss mountain passes.
