QUOTE(Gint @ Aug 14 2004, 08:47 PM) Don't listen to the "big motor or don't bother" club. ... But the small sixes make sweet 914' motors. i agree with your sentiment 100%. however, there's another side of the coin. if one is starting from scratch, you have all types to select from. it's about the same price of entry for a 3,0 as an early engine, and it costs about the same to rebuild (maybe less, if you're fixated on genuine Mahle 2,2S P&C's...). the SC engines are just about bulletproof. 3,0's with Webers and 964 or early 911S cams is a v-e-r-y nice package. i like my little engines because they rev freely, they're light, and they keep the thermal loads manageable (although i will be adding the cost, weight, and complexity of a front cooler with the 2,2+S due to its intended track use...). you need a good reason to start with something earlier than a 3,0. if you've got a reason, go for it ! |
