The 2.7 cases had a design weakness that made it much more likely (just a matter of time) before the studs would pull out of the case. It can happen with a 2.0, 2.2 or 2.4 but the case design is better and less prone. After moving from magnesium to aluminum in 1978 the aluminum cases were much stronger and better designed which made them less prone to the problem.

Back in the day it was an art form to build a 2.7 that was bullet proof. My current car is a 1979 SC Euro. Bullet proof. Arguably one of the best 911 models.

Best,

Steve

Hi Matt,

I had a lot of issues with a 2.7 911, but never had any issues with either the 3.0 SC 180 (1979) & 204ps (1983) engines.

So Jim and/or any of the RED boys....

How about a NEW spec/price/image bone for us to chew on in the new year?

I am, among other things, an unabashed junkie.
