944 2,7L
Hello guys,
can you tell me something about 944 with 2,7L engine? Is it good or is it problematic?
I can't find any for sale so what would do think they are worth on the market in the EU?

They're more or less identical in terms of maintenance and reliability to the 2.5 models.
The increased displacement gave it a healthy dose of much needed additional torque, overall power is about the same.

With the head:
On the block - the 2.7 has only one bolt passing through the head under the water elbow whereas the 2.5 has two bolts at that location.
Off the block - the 2.7 has visually larger intake valves than the 2.5.

Then, lo and behold, I discovered there wasn't an immediate need to put an 8 valve head on a 16 valve 3L S2 engine unless you want to go crazy fast, like 450 bhp fast. Really F'n fast. I sort of fell in love with the torque I already had with the 3.0L. So now I have this immaculate 8V 2.7L head complete with a set of sodium filled 951 exhaust valves (not installed yet) that I'll likely never use.
Reasonable offers accepted...
