supposed to have RSR cams in it already

okay - -something- is wrong with this picture...
(or you've found out why it runs like crap and was available to you cheap...)

a 72-73 2,4 911T engine should probably have come with Zeniths but a Weber change is not uncommon. it does, however, have 7,5:1 compression and the RSR Sprint Cam is a pretty radical profile - i'm surprised there's enough static compression with that much overlap to even get the fire lit.

unless it also has big compression pistons, but then you have to wonder if it has had all the other updates necessary to actually use that level of performance (big ports, big valves, uprated valve springs for the rev range where those cams work...

RSR sprint cams work great with 3,0 liters and 10.3:1 compression.

be interesting to find out what you've got there, really !
the type number is a start - i'm guessing 911/57

It would have to have different p/c's to run right. The 2.4T is low enough compression you could turbo it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

You know what my advice is Geoff. (whispers) Go the distance......If you build it you'll have fun......

Seriously, if you do a six conversion the car will always be worth more, even if the engine goes toes up on you (then you'll have a reason to get the Motronic 3.2 you want anyway). If you build a big (pushrod) four, the car will always just be another four.

Fresh engine vrs fresh engine, the six will last longer than the hopped up four, run smoother, rev happier, and test your driver and mechanic skills more.

I've posted it before, but here it is again; nobody says "gee I don't like this six, I'm going to convert it back to a four"

DWD at it's finest (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I have a guy who might be interested in the nickies but he's a CSOB...but I think he'll give you more than my .10cents on the dollar for your nickies offer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

PM me with a price and I'll forward it to him if you want.

Should keep me busy for a few weekends.
I'll do a six conversion later after I build the new house with a two car w'shop garage. We are planning that for starting next year, gonna tear down the rental and go for it.

I hate carbs and the six motor had carbs which means I would have to do alot to it besides the cheapo six conversion like Tekkor.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) I am a big promoter of the Six, But Like you think why go back to carbs , Ive seen so many 911 owners take off their CIS wanting Power, installing carbs etc, just to end up disapointed in the way it drives cold ,hot, etc.

3.2 /6 on the other hand go for it. You made a good decision I think. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I had a rash once, the doctor gave me some lotion and told me to keep it behind a zipper (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I'm going 6 - soon as I finish the house and bribe the wife. Got all the parts just want the cash to freshen up the engine before I do the swap.

My best,
Mike D.

That I recall he was in the Mid West somewhere. He was just a poster on the old boards that got funnier and funnier as he took his car apart to "I better fix this and take this apart so I'll take that apart since I am doing that I'll take that apart too".
This is way back when you Mikey had the Rocket and were thin.

I even had more hair back then.
