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.

I would sell off what you have, combine that with the "Honey" Money, and buy either a Real 914-6 (HotRod or no) or an already completed -6 Conversion. If you do Due Diligence, you can buy alot of car right now. Plus you could drive it Now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Probably the most sound advice, if you not majorly attached to your existing teener. My car is a low mile, pretty much rust free example. As much as I would love to flare it and /6 it, I just do not have the heart to 'cut' into it at all. So I dropped in a McMark 2056(125HP, stated), and bolted in 5 lug last December. I am very happy with the motor/car now, but would I rather be driving a 200 HP 914/6? WELL HELL YES!!! |
