Have you considered some acceptable level of modification for your 2.7? These engines can be awoken with proper treatments... hot cams, carbs, headers are reversible and do pay off.

I have thought about it but here is the dilemma: I bought this car because I loved the color, the no sunroof, no air, crank windows and the fact it has stunning body, paint and interior. I own several other air-cooled cars so I have zero need for this one (when does need and air cooled Porsche ever come together...) but I am just smitten with everything other than power. I felt like the stars lined up since I also just bought a mechanically excellent 3.2 for a very reasonable amount so I started figuring I could do the conversion for almost free simply by selling spare parts off. So I know I would love the combo (I have had another 3.2 liter mid year car years ago) but I am worried about upsetting the Porsche gods by deflowering this car... The low budget swap keeps the wife happy as she was mildly irritated that another car appeared in the garage.... I can afford to keep the original drivetrain but then the swap becomes a $5k proposition as opposed to almost free.
