It was suggested to me yesterday that a production 6 at the end of the run, possibly the last was delivered witha 2.7 motor. Any clues? Gustl must know. It may overcome an eligibility issue down here if true.

In classic rallies for this year on there is a maximun capacity increase of 17% (strange number don't know where it came from) but since digging around I have established that a 916 prototype was built narrow body with a 2.2 (there is some divergence of opinion on whether this was the prototype - this is the Freisinger car) and now this car factory delivered with a 2.7. It probably means I can continue to use my 2.7 motor, as it appears to have been an "option". Otherwise I can have 1.991 + 17% or 2.2 +17% which are way less than 2.7. Alternativly, go 916 replica with the 2.7 which I don't want to do. I like the car narrow.
I suppose I should ask the question: did the factory ever produce a narrow body 2.7? How can I verify that 914.2.43.0259 came with a 2.7? |
