Some stunning cars in this thread. Great inspiration.

For those of you running 7x15 Fuchs on a lowered car, do you have raised spindles + bump steer kit? If not, how do you find the ride and...

Kent, just to double check - are your cam specs likely to be compatible with the pistons in my 1983 ROW 3.0 engine? I assume not as you swapped your stock pistons out as part of your rebuild so had a...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll be sticking with the stock pistons for the time being and my car won't see any track time so it's good to know that the M1 cams perform well on the street with a...

That would probably be the most sensible option. I'll see how my budget is looking once the shell is finished but I suspect that ITBs/efi is the way I'll end up going. I've no doubt that a properly...

Some healthy numbers there. I'd be very happy with that in my 70T. I think the stock ROW SC pistons are 9.8:1 so I should hopefully be able to achieve something similar with EFI and cams.

The SC engine doesn't come with headers or an exhaust so I was thinking SSIs (I'll need heat in the UK) and a Dansk 2 in 2 out sports exhaust.

As for cams, valve/piston clearance looks to be the...

That being the case I have plenty of time to decide on the final spec but I'm still aiming for a 3.2 SS in the long term, probably when the SC engine eventually needs a rebuild. The engine is still...

On that note, it's not an option for the swap as such but if a stock 3.0 was to fall into my lap would the general feeling be to stick with the 2.7 build or ITB the 3.0 and not think twice about it?

There's a lot to be said for keeping it simple! I'll do a bit of reading around cam profiles. All options are still on the table at the moment!

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

Of the options I've got for the swap it sounds like the 911/01 gearbox with a 2.7 built from the 7R case is the way to go. 9.5:1, S cams, ITBs/EFI if the engine...

$5k sounds a bargain! I'm in the UK though so not sure how well the support would translate? Definitely worth consideration at that price though.

Pics of the 71 shell are too big to load but it's in much better shape. Still needs a lot of work but it's a way more solid starting point. Lovely bloke doing the restoration and he does really great...

3.0 in an early car sounds great but not an option for the swap unfortunately. I suppose I could take the 2.2 or 2.4 and sell it though...
