Hi Gang,
I know many here don't really appreciate the appeal of mid-year P-cars or the 2.7's that go along with them. But a recent 2.7 thread has emboldened me to post this. It seems I'm not the only person to love the mid-year. I felt so ostracized!!
It was suggested to me that it may be possible to get near 200 crank HP from my 2.7 while keeping my CIS system intact.
I've reviewed Wayne's favorite engines section in his book and he lists a 2.7 using higher compression pistons and 964 cams. I did not, however, see a HP figure associated with that configuration. Even more intriguing was the statement that some people may argue that a 2.7 may be quicker than a 3.0 with similar mods!??
Of course, being mine is a 77, I realize the need to install SSI's and a new muffler and ditch the thermal reactors. But given those mods, does anybody now where the HP might come in? Or what, in addition to those mods, might I have to do to reach that figure? Does anybody have a 2.7 set up in a similar configuration and can share your experience with me? Are you happy with it, etc?
Thanks in advance for the input.
Dan
