I have purchased a 73 T 2.4 7r with Carbs. Will be primarily street driven. Pulled engine because it was leaking oil. Pulled the engine brought all parts to machine shop. Here is the story...Crank good, Heads need new intake and exhaust valves, Cams good, Pistons shot, Cylinders will need to be bored, Oil pump marginal, rods good. Case good. I would like to go forward and rebuild this and kick it up a bit but have some questions. I was thinking new pistons 85mm with a CR of high 8, bore the Cast iron cylinders to match, and an early cam (solex, early E?).
Questions are:
1. Solex or early E cams. What years would I look for.
2. While the heads are being redone, I did not intend on increasing the size of the ports. Will this be a problem with what I have outlined above.
3. Is there anything else I need to be aware of (specific to this setup).
This is my first rebuild of a Porsche engine and know much of this is covered on various posts but just want to make sure.
Thanks,
