If 40k for a rocking 911 engine is expensive...imagaine two of them joined together....ouch!!!!

That motor cost $55k to build. If you were to plan on a back to back porsche deal you would be daft to use these as donors, a couple of late model injected motors retro fitted with carbs etc would look the part & probably scare the pants of most people, although if you like one Canadian gent I know you probably think there is no such thing as enough HP.
Problem is I have all these pics of his car dissappearing of the track in a shower of 's**t', must be the alzheimers kickin in!
yeh I know Fran says it wont fit, but he says a lot of things he doesnt really mean and he did say ''' YOU can do whatever YOU like'''!!.
Big block ford stroker with 800hp :heart:
I'm sure that'll fit :laugh:

Not a big fan of standing in a queue thanks all the same, glad to see you at least have an edit function for your own comments.
The last 911 engines that were carb'd when they left the factory were 2.4ltr engines in '72 and '73 - very modest hp/trq. You can put tripple throat IDAs on a 3.0/3.2 pretty easily and with an appropriate cam you can get 240-250hp, still not a lot. If you put on twin plug heads with a higher compression ratio and a bigger piston/cylinder kit (3.4-3.8) you can get into the 300-340hp, still not a ton of hp (but quite expensive ~ $10K-20K depending).
I am pretty sure that the later larger displacement engines can also be run with PMO style induction...
Is it a lot of work to convert it over to the PMOs? They sure do look purrrrrrrty on their website, and I really love anything that isn't computer controlled
A pair of 914-4's end-to-end with the coupler staggering the crank rotation by 90 degrees? May not take up quite so much real estate and would sound VERY nice while delivering a very respectable amount of power. Need more? Throw in a pair of hair-dryers...
You can find these cars on Craig's List with engines intact and bodies busy returning to the base elements of the Mother Earth (aka - Rust)...
I will have to look into them somemore then! I just love the simplicity of the carb-type setup versus fuel injection.
