I can see the value in this type of information. As someone that is in the middle of a building a 911 "hot rod" I can tell you that it is hard to find information. Fellow porsche fans from the various 911 listservs/forums have proven to be very helpful. Of course my mechanic is doing all of the hard work (I'm just writing checks) and figuring out how to install a 3.0 CIS motor into an early car. The good news is that the effort is being documented with pictures and the like and when this project is done I plan to share the information with others that may set out to do similar projects. Sure I'd like to build a 2.7 RS spec motor with MFI, but that was slightly out of budget as was a 3.2 or 3.6 conversion (besides, that would be too much power
). To me a stock 3.0 with SSI's in an early car was a good compromise.
Over the summer I went to a local PCA picnic/car show. Lots of new cars, but much attention was paid to the three early 911s that showed up! Regard PCA, I think it really does depend on the region and the members of that region. I've always had a great time at local events and haven't come across any attitudes. Perhaps some overzealous autocross junkies, but no attitudes.
I guess my point is that it would be nice to know a network of folks on the east coast with similar interests in early 911s.
