From memory about 20 cc difference in the head. I had it written down somewhere...

Nice enough to look at but £36500? I'd want either totally original spec or significantly more powerful than original. That's neither.

It's petite and light.

Does it really need more than the 2.7 ?

I bet it drives utterly wonderfully. I don't think that's a particularly unreasonable price. A car that's been completely restored with new parts. The cost would be shocking. Much more than the asking price.

The 2.7 8v isn't much better than the 2.5 8v, except the 2.5 would be correct.

Although I vaguely remember the 2.5 in the 924s was detuned slightly from the one in the 944

It also looks like a plastic cap glued over the top of the probably cracked dash.

Mine - turbo cab and coupe




Coupe needs some love after being tuned to around 350BHP and being my daily driver for over 10 years,

Here is my cab on the thruxton skidpan last year

"More cc in 8 or 16v head?"

Blade7

The 8v head has more volume than the 16v head and the 16v pistons have more volume than the 8v pistons.

So the combo of 8v head and 16v piston produces the lowest cr.
