“I was wondering if I could get a 73-74 model and install a 3.0 or 3.2 engines and a g50 gearbox or the car dimensions changed a lot and it won’t match. These are all thoughts I’m opened and I will thank any suggestions.” Based upon your stated goal please buy anything other than a 73 or earlier and convert it. The number of 73’s and earlier are finite and small with some years under 10,000 cars. I hope I am not alone in this position. As these cars have increased into the stratosphere with restored 73 S’s going for 65k and up please choose a 76 and later. At least those cars are galvanized and can endure humid climates to some degree without rusting. They have known (74-77) problems with pulling head studs and probably would be ideal for your admirable project. Just be kind to those of us that dream of owning and early 911. Hi A 73 911 would be my recommendation. It was the pre-emission version. In 1974 , Porsche had to use the dreaded "thermal reactors" on the exhaust to meet emissions. This resulted in overheating and ultimately pulled head studs. The 73 doesn't have that problem. I suggest you look for an early 911 that someone else has already changed out the engine to a 3.2L. The 915 transmission used in the 72 and later cars is ok - it will handle the extra power but the shifting isn't as crisp as a G50( I don't know if a G50 will even fit in an early 911). Hope this helps. Ed in Austin, TX. Thx Ed it really helps and the pre-emission info is really usefull. some people even say that the driving of a pre-emission porsche and a post emission one is completly different and that the cars loose alot of its soul with the emission rules. you might want to check out a late 60's 911S for a truly soul car. good luck....

Could anyone with a 1970 Targa (Perhaps coupe) Scan and post the Block 1 Fuse chart. Mine was burned and I would like to print out at 100% and replace. Also does anyone have a fuse color code chart? IE white =5 amp yada yada. Thanks
