Engine sound/upgrade question
Hi yall..
I had an early porsche 2.0l with weber carbs in it I sold. What I want to do is upgrade my 76 to more HP but I want that classic early porsche sound. I can only assume this low end rumble came from the webers (correct?).
That being said.. whats a good route for me to go keeping a tight budget in mind.. I assume the best bang for the buck would be to sell my motor (which appears to be totally stock including tensioners and crappy exhaust) right out of the car.. its relatively quick, no smoke can only assume its gonna have good compression based on performance, lack of smoke and idle characteristics).. Probably1500- $2k in this economy??
But then what route do I go to get that awesome sound?
I assume btw that my motor would require cams to go to carbs which would be really expensive to do?
Also, note my car does not require inspection in this state as of next year.. she turns 30 which is the cut off point.
Third gear needs finesse in my 915 trans.. can be shifted with no crunch but requires careful upshifts which includes either a double clutch or a careful match-rev.
This is getting more expensive as I think about it lol..
I just miss that classic sound and want it back in my life.
Regards.
