DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

.

The engine rebuild book in your first link is the one to get.

In case you didn't know/realise, Wayne Dempsey was the original owner/man behind Pelican Parts ...

Great book, mine is well soiled.
Sold my 2.4E/S for £1000 which bought my 3.2 with a sports 915 box.
Those were the sensible days.
The 2.4 went to someone in Ireland now on DDK, small world as ever.

Bob Watson gave me a lot of bargain parts and help.
Made 180 bop.

I have around £5K into my engine including purchase of engine, carbs, cams, exhaust, machining, clutch, oil tank and all the fittings, and all the electrical bits.
Parts are not cheap! Neither is sub contract works.
I managed to keep the cost down by doing most of the work myself and buying parts secondhand or when they were on offer. Machining was done at mates rates and was done as and when they had time, (This saved a lot of money as i dread to think what it would cost going through one of the specialists).

That's a work of art. You did well keeping it so inexpensive.

Engine number 6200731 looks like a 69 build, so an early 2.2E motor. My matching numbers engine is 6200826 and the build date of my car is 1st of Nov 69.
RHD 2.2 911E

Interesting. What colour is your car (originally)?
Any pics of your car?

The original colour is Bahia red. The shell has just been restored and painted in its original colour by Steve Kerti at Classic Fabrication here in Devon.
I'm afraid I'm no good at downloading photos on DDK which I'm mad about, but could email you pictures if you pm me your email address. There are also some photos of it in October's Classic Porsche magazine.

Do you know where Bob found the extra 30hp? Did you have S compression and 36mm ports?

Correct Rob.
He also timed the E cams away from nominal. That bit confused me while I watched him time it.
Revved to 7800.
Fabulous fab engine, but 14 mpg.

Like you, I have a 3.2. We're really spoilt with the fuel economy we get from those.

Indeed, 30 and better from the stock 3.2 in my 73T, it will also run on orange juice or 98 octane, though the car only gets 98 now.

I miss the 7800 rpm red line stutter, though the Lola's engine makes up for that.

Need to turn the sound up a long way to get the full song!
