I bought a 1974 2.7 in 1986 that had a top end overhaul, with no case work. I ran it with webers and it sounded awesome. It was just enough HP that the stock gearing still felt right. You can also use an early flywheel and clutch, so the clutch also feels like the 4 setup. I ran that motor for 14 years until it started to pull the head studs. At the time they wanted $8k to over haul it, so i sold it and bought a 84 euro 3.2 for $5200. The 3.2 dme injection is awesome and the extra power is nice, but the downside is the gearing is messed up. 1st and 5th is to low, so I try to start off in 2nd and the Kennedy clutch also sucks compared to the 2.7 with an early clutch and flywheel. I am now saving up for a 915 trans and will install a hydraulic clutch. The infamous slippery slope to do it right!!
