The 3.2 on the stock engine case still sounds good.
I have a very original SC with auto-heat (that works!) SSI is a nifty piece of kit but :
a it hangs under the car so only a mechanic gets to enjoy it
b it would mean killing off the auto-heat....

This is false. SSI's will still provide the heat needed for your auto heat. Auto heat is controlled in your interior. The heat exchangers around your exhaust provide the heat. SSI's provide more heat than the stock exchangers. On cool spring and fall nights, if I'm wearing flip flops and I have the foot well blowers on, I can burn my feet. And with their stainless construction, there is less of a chance of exhaust gases leaking into your interior if your exhaust develops a leak.
Plus, the sound. The sound a 911 makes on SSI's is worth the price of admission alone.
As far as power band. What I was getting at was the combination of 964 cams and SSI's created a broad power band from idle to red line and your rotating assembly is still stock.
If you don't need new P&C's, you will spend way less for a set of 964 cams and SSI's then you will for the short stroke 3.2 conversion. But it's your money.
