Thanks, yeah, I think I did ok on the motor after all, particularly with what I know about it now!
As for induction, I think carbs it is from the sounds of what I’ve read here. I could get the original CIS system back but it seems like performance could be better with the carbs and I like the old school look. Even though the car is an E so MFI would be more appropriate, I think between CIS and Webers, the carbs suit the car more. As someone said, I’m going caveman with it.
As for the car, I’ve always wanted an early 911 or 356, and this (project) is the only way I could ever afford to get one, at least if I wanted to stay married, which I do.
My plans? Well, my garage moto is: FAST, INEXPENSIVE, WELL DONE -Pick Any Two. Similar to that, and based on what I can afford, this build won’t be fast, but it will be well done.
I do want to do the car right and as correctly/stock as possible. Car was "updated" in the 80s or 90s, but I have been accumulating replacement parts for the past 9 months, and have about 75% of what I need, including rust replacement panels.
I’m currently halfway through another project that needs my attention though, so this may have to wait in its small corner for another year or two.
