    Help needed assessing mystery motor rebuild.

    I realize that this will be a shot in the dark, but some of the engine guys here might be able to help me sleuth this out.

    I have a '68 aluminum case motor in my car from a Euro 911T that was rebuilt about 10 years ago. I have the receipts, but they aren't specific about certain things and I'm convinced the car makes additional power above the 110hp that Porsche published. I realize a dyno or the previous owner would tell me more, but there are sufficient details that I believe an educated guess could be made. Here's what I know;

    Stock the car should have cast iron cylinders and 8.5:1 compression and a Marelli dizzy. Here's what the receipts reveal;

    Rebuild occurred in 2002 with an indicated 63,074 miles (could have been 163,000 though).
    R&L Timing Chain Covers
    Carb kits
    30mm chokes
    125 main jets
    55 idle jets
    180 air correction jets
    F26 emulsion tubes
    chain tensioner update (leads me to believe this was therefore the first rebuild)
    Rod bolts
    Rod nuts
    #8 main bearing
    Machine work case:
    6 resurface cylinder heads: $240
    12 rebuild rocker arms: $240
    2 repair cam carriers: $104
    6 reconditioned rods: $438
    1 R&R case oil galley, plugs, chain box modification, install case squirters: $859
    911E distributor w/ 7,100 rpm limiter
    MSD 5 ignition
    MSD Blaster coil
    Plus a lot of little assorted stuff like gaskets, nuts & bolts, etc.

    Total rebuild cost in 2002: $9,197.37

    Any thoughts on what the previous owner or repair shop was trying to accomplish? Simple straightforward rebuild, or were they going for more power somewhere? I don't see cams or valves anywhere, but I'd swear this motor is stronger than stock.

    Thanks for any input,
    Mike
