I'm starting to shop around for a small used 6 between 2.0 to 2.7. Any reccomendations on which engines I should keep my eye on and which I should avoid?

Order Wayne Dempsey's 911 Engine book and turn to page 112. Lots of good info there. It's a great book to have, even if you aren't going to build an engine.

The bruce anderson 911 book is great, you should know about the 2.7 issues. I haven't heard of much trouble of the smaller displacement engines besides a better oil pump. I personally love the sound of the small stroke engines, but long stroke for torque wins.

MFI=Rocknroll (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) MFI is vintage technology, but it has the best throttle response. It's not the best under all situations, and if you've got warn out components it can be a nightmare, but when it's right and tight, it's awesome. If I were going to pick a favorite small displacement six, it would be a MFI'd 2.4S with 2.2S pistons & cylinders, with S or E cams. This could be expensive to put together though, which is why alot of guys end up with a Motronic 3.2. I love the smaller sixes though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

I'll have a 2.4 for sale soon (a month or 2). It's a ROW version with Zeniths. Good street motor...lots of torque, regular gas. Hear it run...drive it... if you come to Eugene before I pull it out.

It's the package, IMO.
10:1 lbs to HP will take you a while to master at your local AX. How you get there is up to you.....but remember, light is gud, a stiff chassis is gud, big stickey tires with the suspension set up to go with em' is best. You're putting yourself in a class where serious guys have this stuff....you wanna play, you have to pay. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

2.2 min. unless it a good deal (Trekor)
2.2 up to 2.7 have the same valve dia. only variance is port size. exhaust valve is over 40.00 . lotsa of easy combo's to build a nice engine reasonably priced. 2.2-2.4 no stud problems 2.7 case needs 500.00 up front to make it right agian. Is there a CC limit for you're autocross class ? Randy's motor : Rebuild & ,2.2 E pistons, E cams,S ports. 5K |
