Re: Well, the 924 was the first water cooled Porsche in 1976 but the engine was . . .

an Audi engine. The water cooled 924 Turbo raced successfully in its maiden Le Mans outing, so I'll go w/the 924 Turbo. (but wait, you're looking for only water cooled heads & the 924 Turbo won't qualify for that). Now the 959 had water cooled heads on basically an old style air cooled 911 engine and a form of the 959 competed in the Paris-Dakar cross country race, but that was after the 924 I believe.

Was there something that preceded these cars?

Wait a while before responding as others may want to hazard their guesses, okay?
