I started by staring @ broken 3.0 head studs but had a 3.0 core to sell as offset.

The 964 & 993 bottom ends are well designed and will go a long time. A used 3.6 with a fresh top end and big oil cooler was a fair compromise reliability scenario and biggest bang for my bucks.

8 years of track use in club TT so far.
