I want to eventually get a 911. Not sure what the best and most desirable ones are. My budget is 10K if I keep my daily driver or 15k if I sell my daily driver.
Any suggestions ? Thanks, Levon |

Jeff Smith (in the Northwest) is the only guy I know who's actually seen a 911/77 torn down. He helped on the original specs. (and sold me the cams). This is simply a 2.7 RS spec engine build on the 930/07 core. JE will make the pistons, Beiker did the MFI and Gus will do the pump. Please send your donations to...
