2.4 TV to 2.7 RS - "Leo Kinnunen tribute"
Hi,
I am a big fan of Leo Kinnunen and already almost a year ago decided to build a replica of his RSL (ST) LINK HERE . AND HERE
The car being built is original 911 2.4 TV (vergaser). Its same year and same colour as the "role model" and it will be build to match the RSL spec with modifications that were made to Leos car. I will update this topic as the project goes forward and will be asking some support once in a while. Hardest part is to define what were done at the factory and what might have been later additions - but this keep the whole process interesting.
I will have few engine options for this car - matching 2.4 that will be modified to match the RS -spec and another already completely rebuilt S -spec MFI motor.
