Thanks for posting. I missed the original post back in October. It's always startling to see what an early car will do in the hands of a capable driver. My limitations behind the wheel would get me into serious trouble on a course like that.

The air cleaner on that car is so wrong it's almost comical. 69-70-71

Doh!

Well it's got earlier mag stacks to go with the wrong air cleaner. So, it's at least a set

I left some meat on the bones for others to pick. :roll eyes:

Agree that the lack of orginal motor is a major deficiency...

"Engine: In 1987, the 2.4S engine was replaced with a high performance 2.7 engine first built by Gary Pumroy, who now has a shop in Albuquerque. The engine has "solex" cams (between early E-S). In November 2007, this engine was rebuilt by Jay Moore (Air Cooled Only) of Prescott, AZ. Jay had been trained and worked for many years by Andial. He knows the early cars. There is about 2000 miles on the rebuilt engine as the car is only used for club events.

Jay rebuilt the Weber carbs in 2006. The transmission was also rebuilt at approximately that time and a Weltmeister short shift kit was added.

The engine compression was boosted to 9.2 to 1 with C & E pistons and the "solex" cams were retained. The car is equipped with a radiator-type auxiliary oil cooler with metal lines and thermostat from an early Porsche race car. The car runs very cool and uses 91 octane fuel, with no additives added. Jay Moore estimated that the car, which is close to 73 Carrera RS specs, develops about 230 h.p."

I wonder what the engine actually is from?

Interesting observation. One thing I have learned is that under the right circumstances (a hapless owner with money is one) mechanics can "make work" where none may be needed. I'm not saying that's what happened here. Apparently the various cooks never got the "roux" exactly to taste.

My '73 now owned by Bobby Smith had the engine "built" around the time of this car's 1st rebuild-build. Still one of the best running 2.4 911s I've had the privilege to own.
And it did kick a second gen. Z06 (505hp) in an autocross along with many years of other wins over stiff competition. That engine was done right the 1st time.

That dog WILL HUNT.

Yes, done right the first time indeed. I still carry the engine rebuild receipt in the the glove box. Almost $20K in 1989 dollars for engine and a few other items. Still dry as a bone and runs STRONG! Sam (P owner) was never one to ask how much will it cost. He just said "do it".

Keeping your foot in a good running 2.4S can embarrass most of the rest…......
