I have a 1974 Porsche 911 S that I’ve posted about on Pelican previously. The car is in very good condition with a quality windows out respray in the original 036 Salmon Metallic color. The interior has also been re-done in its original colors as well. Its a very solid and clean car with no rust found when doing the paint.

Car has about 150K. We just went through the transmission with a full rebuild and now we are on to the engine.

We have what we believe is the original 2.7 torn down and I am at an impasse.

Do I spent the $ required to build the 2.7 correctly by having the case gone through with a line bore and case savers etc. (There were no pulled head studs found after tearing the engine down)

The other option is to box up those parts and rebuild a 3.0 SC engine I have available. Both will require a rebuild… Doing this would require absorbing the value of a solid 3.0 core into the sunk costs of the 74 along with the 2.7.

I’m thinking the smart thing to do for value is to stick with the 2.7 engine but would appreciate some input on how either choice would affect the value of the car.
