Hi Adrian
Welcome to DDK, Boge struts without torsion bars sounds interesting. Do you mean it has coil over springs or are the torsion bars missing? A photo would answer a lot of questions, can you post one?

Your car would have had hydropneumatic front suspension. All 69-72 E’s were delivered that way from new I think. No torsion bars.

Regards
Mike

If your car still has the original hydro-pneumatic suspension the main problem will be non-availability of any any of the associated parts.

The vast majority of 911 models so equipped were converted to the standard torsion bar set-up many years ago.

You are going to need a pair of A-arms, a pair of torsion bars, a pair of struts & a front crossmember at the very least.

The Factory used to offer a conversion package 'back in the day' which included those parts:
