I am looking for the best book on 2.7 engine mods. I heard one of the book writers favored the 2.7 and want to know what was done to his. If someone has the book and wants to get rid of it or let me barrow it let me know.

The 2.7 is really a fun engine when built up, but does need special care. Anything that hasn't been rebuilt is now over 36 years old, and I don't think Porsche really planned to have these last this long.

Forget Timeserts and go right to Case savers. Throw out Dilivar studs and replace with steel ones (Henry Schmidt at Supertec has some great ones). Switching to RS pistons, bumping up the camshafts to E or S specs, and getting rid of the CIS system will make for a wonderful engine. Not cheap, but none of these engines are anymore.
