Has the engine been rebuilt recently? I would change all the hoses... and check out the sespenion. I wouldnt think of mods now..I would make sure its gonna last you if you wanna drift it. You don't want to break something everytime you drive it, you know? -
Been talking to some local porsche enthusiast, been thinking of droping a dual carb VW engine. Reason being that an actual porsche engine is way to *Censored* expensive. Yea I know what u mean... been replacing all the old parts, brake lines, rotors etc... Need to make it drivable. Going to be a real nice piece of work once finished. Picked it up for only $1000, body is in great condition. . I'll keep updates on how its coming along.

Nice find! I would definitely buy a 912 for $1k. It's the SR5 of Porsches...Just drop a nicely built VW motor in there, update the brakes and suspension, and go for it.
912 is better balanced than a 911 anyway with less weight in the back (though, they don't call it "poor balance" with a 911, they just call it "how 911s handle"
)

please keep the porshce engine please. Some ideas for mods: 1. upgrade the ignition system, The distributor is proably still a points system which wears out(less reliable)2. Change all your bushings to polyuretane or nylatron. 3. A hotter cam will always give a bit more performance You'll need to change your timing though and may even need to use an offset on the timeing gear. 4. I would def take the head off and reseat the valves. And haveing the head off will allow for further inspection.
Good luck with it they're beautiful cars.Comment
