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.

The fun of the whole thing is building it. I've built several. I have a vision and then run with it. I lost my ass on all but one. That one was bought by the Pesi Cola Bottling Co. I got tired of selling them when I was done. This time I promised myself I'd buy a car that I loved (914). Then I would go nuts and build my dream car. I don't want someone elses car. I don't want to wreck an original 6 nor do I have the cash for one. I want to build the car I have. A rust free 73 Zambesi (always loved that color). It was bent up but I straightened it out and I only need a couple of pieces to complete it. I have a 911 front suspension. I'm going 5 lug. I'm halfway there already. As mentioned in the first post, I have the 911 performance handbook. I'm reading it now. I was just hoping to get some instant gratification from the knowledgeable 6 guys here. I guess I was looking for a recipe. Using this block, with these pistons and this cam, will give you this.
Like I said. I know nada about the 6. I was hoping for a quick education. |
