ok so I bought this car, many of you thought perhaps I shouldnt but I spoke with the guy and he assured me no hell hole rust etc, and I have ebay buyer protection, so I took the chance BECAUSE I LOVE HER!!!!
here's my question: car has the original unsplit 2.0 converted to weber 44's I have a spare 2.0 with the FI system minus the brain. I want to A. have a great time driving the car, and B. have an eye towards retaining resale value for some day. should I: A. pull the carbs and install/upgrade the FI I have in a box on the car B. bore and stroke and rebuild my 2.0 mildly, use the weber 44's on it and rip around, retaining the original matching #'s 2.0 with my FI system in my shed for future buyer restoration. C. shut the hell up, save my money and drive the car. (option 'C' is unlikely as I have the car parts bug bag.) I would like a little pep whilst driving through hills not sure if stock 2.0 FI has much? Ill of course address the rust spots, likely paint and install my 911 front suspension thanks |

so you went for it...... excellent, you will enjoy it either way. I have had carbs on mine since 1982, it is a 74. It has never failed me, but there is a big difference if you rebuild with a cam to match the carbs. Way more pull than the stock motor could ever do. My FI system was a pain in the butt and I spent quite some time on the side of the road waiting for the car to start.....thus the carbs were the cheap fix of the times.
