Out of the blue the wife gave me permission to spend a bunch of cash on the teener. I have the slightest idea what I did right or what she did wrong.
I have to check out the finances but I'd like to do a 6 conversion. I know diddly about the flat 6. I need some help. My end goal is to basically have a street legal track car. I like the small high reving 6's but like I said I know nadda. The only thing that it has to have is carbs. I'm not into FI and ECU's. What's my best engine choice? I'm about 1/4 way through the 911 performance handbook trying to educate myself. I can build an engine if thats my best option. I should also ask the average conversion cost.

Parts list.
Oil tank. Oil filter console. Oil filter. Oil filler neck. Dipstick. Oil filler cap. Oil filter adapter rubber boot and snap ring. Suction line from tank to coupler. Oil line coupler. Oil line from coupler to oil cooler. Engine mounted oil cooler (modified or stock.. stock is more expensive) Oil scavenge line from engine to tank (stock hard metal line is hard to find. Easy to get the 911 rubber line to replace it.) Engine mount. (Recommend the Rich Johnson mount.) Engine tin set. Early 911 Flywheel, or aftermarket conversion flywheel. (To hook to 901 transmission) Heat exchangers or headers (headers are cheaper, but no heat for interior) 911 muffler. Either 40IDA3C Weber carbs and linkage or PMO Carbs and linkage. 914/6 throttle bellcrank, rod and cable bracket. plus 914/6 throttle cable. You also have to modify the engine wiring harness to hook it to the car, cut the holes for the oil tank, remove the stock 4 cylinder motor mounts, and weld in the six cylinder motor mounts. And if you are going to do this, you need to upgrade the brakes. I recommend the Boxster brake conversion. Unless you purchase some of the pricey billet hubs, this will more than likely require a 5 lug conversion. That means new wheels. See where this can add up???? |
