Hi there refugee. Unfortunately, your 2.2T engine (if that is what you have) is not a good starting point for a higher performance engine. I discuss this somewhere in the Engine Rebuild Book, but I can't find it in there right now.

In short, the 911T 2.2 has:

- Zenith Carbs (I don't agree with Roy's assessment, as there aren't too many jet sizes available for these)
- Non-counterweighted crank
- Small valves in heads
- T-cams
- T-pistons
- Weaker magnesium case

In general, the only things you can reuse for a higher performance engine are the rods and the other outside equipment (alternator, fan, cam towers).

The more economical approach is to leave your T-motor intact and purchase a core 2.7 to work on. Guaranteed, it's the more economical way of doing things. I wouldn't worry about serial number matching - just keep the original engine...
