I agree, a EG33 with 75 shot NOS will take that 3.2 anyday.
I have been able to make my SVX conversions sound nice, but not Porsche nice.

A Subaru EG33 six is probably more reliable than a Porsche six. Power
output for a given age is better from the EG. You also avoid the
heater problem. There are kits (KEP) to fit an EG33 to a Porsche 915
or G50 trans. The EG should handle any kind of supercharging nicely,
with its forged internals.

MSDS... I have reasons to distrust Martin.
