OK, time to start firming up some ideas and direction for my next project. I had been looking for a high mileage 993 without luck, so when I ran across a deal on a 3.6, I jumped on it. The engine came out of a 97 C2S with 70k on it. I bought it as a long block with extras. It came with varioram, fuel rails, full exhaust (- one muffler) and a couple of flywheels and plates and two boxes of misc.
I want to tear it all the way down and build it back, tweaking where I can. I have read everything I can find and it seems most don't consider going to 3.8 is cost effective. This engine will eventually end up in a 993 daily driver, maybe an occasional DE, so 3.8 would probably be overkill for me.
There just seems like there ought to be a sweet spot between stock and 3.8. I know you can get a lot of bang from a chip and sport muffler, but what else?ss cams? Can the varioram be ported any, sort of a mild approach to what 9m does?
I am basically hoping to get enough input to create a recipe for the motor.I will probably cross post because RL has the greatest 993 following, and Pelican has a higher number of engine rebuild participants.
Let's build an engine.
