I've completed all the above. From building a large displacement 4 cylinder (not initially installing the 911-style cooling system), cooking the engine at a San Diego "driver's ed" while chasing a 911, rebuilding it with the 911 cooling system (and external oil cooler), and now with a very strong 2.7 six. Yes, the large displacement 4 was fun! However after 5 years, it got very weak and either needed replacement or rebuild. So, I opted to install a six. This last weekend, I spent 3 days at Mid-Ohio. I cannot tell you how much diference there is in torque and outright horsepower. Top speed has increased in orders of magnitude. The old adage: Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?
