need some advice about the 2.7L flat motor
Well, I ended up not getting an old Jeep. I added three more parking spaces under one roof so was itching to get something but an old 911 never crossed my mind. Too much money. Got talking with someone and discovered he's off loading a T with a stripped interior. He was building this to be a track car, an RS clone of some sort. He lost interest and never finished. The paint and body is in good shape with SC flares but motor is out. He has a rebuilt 2.7 with Webbers (I am shaking just hearing those numbers) and 915 is in good shape. Suspension is all in. Poly-bronze bushing and big sway bars will kick my ass as a street car. It might be a great deal if it goes through.
I have been reading for the past few days and my head is spinning. Many suggest going to a 3.0 or 3.2 motor and scrap the 2.7 motor. Since the 2.7 is there, he had it rebuilt some time ago (I know this guy well, so I can trust him), what kind of land mine am I going to step into? How reliable are they and what am I up against? I know nothing about these early cars especially their known issues. I believe the motor is stock.
I haven't been at Tech for over 10 years, so I thought I ask here first. Mods please move this to Tech or engine rebuilding if necessary.
