Nope, the car I went and looked at was a very clean 2.7 conversion (i think it was a 2.7, that's how it felt).

based on what I read in that e-bay add, the guy selling the car on e-bay is full of BS or he just absolutely no clue about porsches or he left out a bunch of very important details about his engine, I don't know which. I've e-mailed him trying to get more information.

All it takes to get 290 hp out of a 180 hp engine is a chip?

since when did they put 3.2 liter engines in SCs?
(ok, maybe he did a short stroke conversion).

since when did they put motronic on SC engines?
OK, maybe he had it converted.
Bottom line is, that sounds like a 205 hp (max) engine to me. how the heck did he get 290 from that?
3.3 seconds 0 to 60? BS. 170 mph top speed? BS, 914s aint stable at that speed and would swap ends, even if he did have enough hp and he probably doesn't.

Unless he drastically changed the gearing in that 915 it would hit redline at around 145 (if he could get there which he prolly can't).
