Engine rebuild spec of my 1970 2.2 911T..does it make sense?
Its a LHD USA car and work was done in US. The first UK owner was given the following information about the engine rebuild:
Built to 2.4 spec with original 2.2 cases keeping it matching numbers
2.7 orig polished and balanced crank
6 rod bushings and bearings
Main bearing
JE forged 84mm 9.5 to 1 pistones
'S' aluminium barrels, honed orig
Timing chains and gears
Engine cases line bored and time cert
Oil pump
6 rebuilt cylinder heads
Standard ports
Inlet & exhaust valves and springs
911 grind cams
Rebuilt Zenith carbs on standard jets
Rebuilt Bosch distributor
I was wondering if the above list/spec make sense in terms of what one would do when re-building such an engine?
Car is very fast for a T, the specialist who recently serviced the car reckoned it was pushing out in excess of 180bhp. Since then I found the above list.
Thanks

Sounds fine - basically it's now a high compression Euro 2.4T

I assumed that there was an E or S missing ...

Sounds like a nice motor. Crack on and enjoy it when the weather gets better. The trouble with winter , as far as we find in our house is there's too much time to "sweat the small stuff".

Lots of electrical loom work, and it's a very heavy engine apparently.
I have looked at it as an option, but am looking for a 2.2T motor instead...

A gearbox that will handle the torque.

Not so - some comparisons done on impact bumpers. Same sort of weight as SC or 3.2 Carrera engine, once you've ditched the air con gubbinsDanG wrote:Lots of electrical loom work, and it's a very heavy engine apparently.
