Thanks for all the feedback. If my car was a super low mileage, all original paint, fully documented car I wouldn't consider the swap. However here is what I have:
1976 Euro 911
No roof, no air, crank windows! As light as they come!
255km (158k miles) chassis miles
Body is PERFECT
Paint just done to a VERY high standard, totally disassembled, all new trim, gaskets, etc. Original color.
Interior is pristine, perfect dash, headliner, carpet and seats all just done.
Mechanically the car is currently excellent as well, I just want more grunt as all my other 911's have big power...
I don't think the car I have will ever be a huge dollar car since it has high chassis miles and has been restored as opposed to being a survivor. However I also own two long hoods and I cant believe what the values have done so I think about the value of matching numbers. However my dilemma is that I love the aesthetics of this car, but I am so used to more power that its a little boring to drive.
Some of my decision hinges on motor and trans values. If the motor is worth $4k, its a no brainer, I would sell it. If its worth $2k no way. So what do people think the motor and the trans is worth?
Again the motor has unknown total miles but did get a $6k reseal, refresh 40km (24k miles) ago and has all the correct updates (carrera tensioners, pop off valve, turbo valve covers, etc.) no oil leaks, etc. The transmission I have no record of a rebuild however in my opinion it shifts too well for never having been done.
