We restored and converted this 1970 911 into a RS "PRO" Touring edition!

Our customer's 911 will be powered by a 1995 993 3.6L DME fuel injected engine. Power is executed through our G50 5 speed Short Bell Housing transaxle. It features a full stainless steel exhaust with heat and A/C air-conditioning with R-134 refrigerant.

Our 993 A/C condenser upgrade to the 1970 911.

Note the A/C receiver drier with over pressure switch.  This switch keeps you from blowing up the A/C lines if the condenser fan quits working.

The Porsche 3.6L DME engines are an excellent choice for older 914 or 911 chassis to engine conversions. These 3.6L engines are found in the 1990-1994 964 from (250hp and 228 lb/ft ), and the 1995-1998 993 (272hp and 243.2 lb/ft ). We often find the early 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.4L, 2.7L, 3.0L and 3.2L engines are “tired” and with the increasing parts costs and rebuild labor expenses, this begins to approach that of the 3.6L engines. These engines offer several advantages with regards to reliability, power and future service. The DME (Digital Motor Electronics) used to operate the engines ensures excellent hot or cold running with increased efficiency and lower emissions output. These engines are equipped standard with twin plug ignition systems & knock sensing. We have all of the conversion parts you should need to simply install these and other engines into your chassis. Please contact us today for your needs, should it be individual parts, a complete engine package, or bringing your car to us for a complete 3.6L engine conversion!

Note that this car is fitted with A/C as well!
