thats such a beautiful car , always lusted after one. Are there not any Lancia style replacement lumps available? If it was me i would much rather stick with something in the Lancia /Fiat group.. In fact the original lump reworked would do it for me , these motors mean so much more to me if original.. ah I see it would be a temp replacement.. dunno what would fit but plenty of Italian iron to measure up for fitment.. good luck

Every time I drive the 911.. its a visceral experience that can't be had from my other rides with their albeit nice creature comforts.., the noise / the view down the nose / the speed / the fact that young kids point and know its a Porker.. all makes me smile ;D

Cant stop smiling every time I drive it.. mega surprised an Insignia SRI driver the other day on the A12 Not messing with it ... other than maybe a wheel refurb , some minor paint and maybe a remap.. etc etc ,sheesh I curse the t'internet.. forced induction is for sale stateside.... Its pretty low and firm as is , the W124 wagon was comfy+10 in comparison but oosh this thing goes , plus the noise ;D ;D

just like the 6 pot w124's , a later one/retro fitted one should sort , IIRC the engine loom is about a monkey plus vat from Merc. These motors in top spec were nigh on 100k new.. proper value now .. if it all still works

Have a gander on www.impactbumpers.com/forum/index.php?Caters for just the impact bumper cars so plenty of info on there. rust is the enemy , a small spot on the sill can equate to a whole world of hurt ...plus top end rebuilds are spendy , can need doing from as early as 70k , buy the best you see be it an sc or a 3.2 , you wont be disappointed ;D... Mines an 86 3.2 G50 , gbox changed from the 915 on the 87 model year .
