PMO carbs on stock 964 3.6 engine

[nico55]

Looking for some advice on my car: as it is a '72 s with a nice story and a big part still original paint I don't want to touch the body at all. I have 8" and 9" Fuchs and via this forum found Harry in Germany (close by Belgium) who will make me a set of rsr Fuchs (9" to the front and 8" widened to 11") - meanwhile I have a set of braids with TB's. Suspension wise I am thinking about kw or ohlins coilovers, it has 930 brakes.
It was converted to coilovers some time ago but there seems to be a fitment issue on the front as coils touch the body so that negative camber is not possible.
I will try to get some pictures on here, maybe someone knows those coilovers, can't find a brand on them...
The dilemma is on the engine: I could go back to rsr spec 2.8 or 3.0 and 917 brakes etc, but I am afraid that the total cost will be to high to still drive and enjoy the car, and that it won't be very streetable (I will not track it - it will be a weekend hotrod). It came with a 964 3.6 - 0km when installed - but I don't like the modern look, when you open the hood and see the engine it is a let down to me. So I thought of keeping the engine stock, but with (46?) PMO carbs, a amber engine shroud etc to give it a real cool look. Are there members running this engine set-up? Hp lost with the carbs? Throttle response comparable with itb?
The itb route is to expensive for me on a not period correct engine... hope to have some feedback to finally decide which way to go...

Hi...the link to your car doesn't work. Hoping this replacement will suffice.

“Original paint”...

good one.

Always liked the idea, but it's rare enough that you almost never hear it mentioned. When all is said and done, a modified fan design for a straight blade type, and removal of ac unit, if possible.

Yes it seems rare, found this engine on bring a trailer a while ago: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/3-...porsche-motor/
I really liked the idea, but then with a full stock 3.6. I only find info on itb conversions for the 964/993 engines, I know it is modern, hi-tech, better fuel consumption etc... but never found feedback on a carb conversion for street use.
