Hi Chaps,

After long and careful deliberation I've decided I'm going to build myself a high compression 2.7RS motor.

I'm going to leave my 2.4E engine in the car and build the new engine over the next year, I think I'll enjoy the learning curve of building the engine, and can still drive the Porsche in the interim.

Now for the big question, what engine should I use as a core? basically I want to get the case that requires the least modification as i'm trying to keep costs down. I reallise i will most likely need new P&C's no matter what engine I start with, but is there a case to avoid? Also do any "stock" engines have suitable heads for hihg compresion pistons? (bear in mind I'm in the UK so I'm looking at european spec engines)

I know this question's probably been asked before, and yes I've read Wayne;s book on engine rebuilding, but your opinions would be appreciated.

Cheers
