15 years ago I thought about how cool a 2.8 built on an early 2.0 aluminum case would be for a hot rod short wheel base 911 . Old school look, revs like a 906 and pulls like freight train.
A customer with the right vision finally stepped up and here's what we built.
1967 2.0 Aluminum case with oil flow modification and piston squirters for cooling.
2.2 "S" counter weighted crank, cross drilled and ground to fit 996.2 GT3 connecting rods.
911 SC oil pump with Supertec flow modification. We were able to source a new intermediate gear through Passion Rose.
90 mm cylinders modified with Moly2000 ductile sleeves to fit 95mm pistons
The pistons were custom engineered JE (9.5:1) . The challenge was a 95mm piston dome and a 90 chamber.
2.7 cylinder heads ported to 39/37mm with 47/41mm stainless valves installed with Aasco springs and Titanium retainers
Securing the heads in to the case were Supertec head studs (what else?)
47 mm 4 journal cam housings to fit DC43 cams modified for 6 bolt early valve covers.
Of course, Supertec rockers were installed. We fabricated a custom set of chain box covers for Carrera tensioners and Supertec idler arms were also installed.
Replica 906 fan and fan ring, Series 900, 906 Amber shroud with modified ducting to cool the CSF cooler.
We're running Lonnie's (Permatune) new programmable distributor with an Ashlock Tech CD and PartsKlassicks coil.
We topped it of with 46mm PMO carburetors with tall 906 manifolds and ITG filters.
The headers are Supertec short runner 321 stainless with the Dansk sport muffler still to be determined.
