Okay I have come to a point where I am in a delima. I have a '73 2.0 car with the appearance group package that has had all 911 suspension upgrades and I will also be adding GT flares. I was originally going to put a 2.8 IV in it with about 225 horses but now am considering a subie engine putting out about 325 horses or more. I have always been a purist but there is something to be said for smoking the competion through the curves and also being able to dust the muscle cars down the highways. I can get into the 2.8 for around 7000.00 for motor and tranny minus installation. I can get into the subie for about 4800.00 minus installation.
What are the thoughts and opinions out there along with the pros and cons for each. All input would be greatly appreciated. Donald (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Aviation engines operate in cooler ambient temps...
As for watercooling... The switch was most impacted by emission control restrictions.. Just like at the exhaust system on a 993 engine to see the challenges the environmental restrictions placed on the last aircooled Porsche engines. even today with all the Boxster and 996 developments we are doing, I still don't appreciate any watercooled Porsche... Developing watercooled Porsche engines has been a business endeavor for us only. (So I can reinvest more into aircooled development!) |
