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.

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. I like carbs but MFI works for me too. It's spendy but I'm somewhat familiar with it. I had an Alfa with it.

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. I like carbs but MFI works for me too. It's spendy but I'm somewhat familiar with it. I had an Alfa with it. Alpha-Romeo MFI only has one throttle body, the 911 MFI has six. It is a whole nother animal when you have to get correlation done on all six throttle bodies. And I think I have one of two or 3 914s with MFI. Love it... Personally I think it is MUCH better than carbs. And if you want the high butterflies, then you are talking 2500.00 for just the stack setup. If you want the slide valves, well, they are unobtanium. So you better befriend a machinist who can make you a set. Good luck and keep us posted. |
