I started with a bone stock 2.0 4, then a carbed and modified 2.0 4, then I moved to a bone stock 2.4T six with MFI, that was converted into a 2.4ST (S pistons, cylinders, and cams, but T heads) with MFI, and now I am going to a 4.0L 964 based engine.

The best so far has been the 2.4ST. With the Burscht exhaust, and a correctly tuned MFI, the engine is fairly easy to drive around town, and it screams when it is up on the cams. The big difference is that I don't run the stock 4 cylinder gearing in the transmission. Third through fifth have been changed to keep the engine up in the revs better. Fifth was the most important. If you get the wrong gears in fifth, the engine will overheat on the freeway in both 4th and 5th. It turns too fast in 4th, and too slow in 5th.

What your guy is describing is changing the pistons and cylinders out only. The 2.0 and 2.2 use the same 66mm throw crankshaft. The bore is smaller on the 2.0, and the 2.2 is the same bore as a 2.4. If he is tearing it down that far, swap the crank for a 70.4mm throw and get a 2.4 motor. E cams are better overall, or if you can find them, 911 solex cams are even better than the E cams. If you like rowing the boat all the time, then get the S cams, or go even more radical and get 904 cams.

Good luck!
