Goods questions. I'd like improved power to weight but I’m concerned that the additional weight of the 964 might offset any gain in HP the 3.6 might give. The larger brakes and coil over suspension would seem to be a benefit.

Five years ago, the ’78 held its own with any car in the black run group. Now 60% of the cars are GT3’s and the old gal (and me!) are having difficulty keeping up with the newer technology.

Your idea of the 3.6 in the lighter car might be what I need……might have to think that one through more.

I'll throw one other option at you if you've been happy with your current car but want more power to go with the suspension.... drop in a 3.6 and big brakes. Oh, and ditch the 31mm rear torsion bars for some 33's.
