I had a 1980 with a 1990 3.6 swapped in, had a 964 intake, cams, injectors, intake, lightened flywheel and Wong chip. It had standard exhaust except no mufflers just a cat converter. It sounded amazing. It also had the 915 trans and ran fine.

Tons of low end grunt and you would drive it on the street like a diesel, short shifting using the low end torque. Push the loud pedal down and she would scoot, I would not call it a slow car, I am willing to bet it was a 12 second car with the tune it had. I never 1/4 miled it because that was not the point of the car.

I would also get amazing MPG with it on road trips like in the 30 MPG range cruising at 80 MPH.

When I was shopping for a 911 I was disappointed in the 930's they all needed engine rebuilds at 80-100K miles. If the engine top end was not shot then the turbo was close to going. After looking at 3 930's I decided I finding a 3.6 swapped car, I thoroughly enjoyed that car.

I recently had a chance to buy a 77 911 in rough shape and my first inclination was to find a 3.6 to put in it.
