3.2 Swap in 1976- what to do with the original 2.7?
I have a REALLY nice 1976 911 coupe that I have been contemplating doing a 3.2 swap with. I just bought an 84 3.2 Carrera that is mechanically stellar but aesthetically VERY challenged that I bought very reasonably. I figured I could harvest the drivetrain and everything else I need and sell off the other parts. So here are my questions:
1. Should I sell the numbers matching 2.7 that is currently in the car? It has about 40k miles on a $6k reseal, refresh, etc and has very good compression and leak down. It has Carrera tensioners and the pop off valve and would be 100% complete. I figured I would sell it as a buyer could even drive the car and see its a solid plug and play setup for someone. If I did that what do you think it's worth.
On the flip side I am also a longhood guy and longterm will I regret not having thr correct #'s matching motor? I just figured I would offset some of the swap expense by selling it.
What do you think?
2. The original 915 in my car shifts well but the 915 in the 84 was rebuilt 2k ago. Similar question, should I swap both or is there any advantage to keeping the original 76 915? What's it worth if I sell it?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
