I'm looking for a complete list of parts to fit a 3.2 into my car. I know there are lots of threads covering the conversion but I'm hoping someone can put together a very complete and detailed list of parts for the conversion. Hard lines, soft lines, engine oil cooler, harness, ect. Opinions, suggestions modifications and suppliers are welcome. I would be starting with a 3.2 motor pulled from a 911 with all the 911 parts included. And if anyone has a good cache of conversion parts that they are not using, please PM me. Thanks, Mark

I'm sure 100 other guys have given you the same advice, but you will potentially save half the money plus loads of time if you buy a conversion or factory -6 that is already done, or "nearly" done. There are LOTS of great deals on the market these days.

I never seem to follow this tip myself, and it can be a lot of fun doing these projects, but you have to be adequately prepared for the costs and potential frustrations...

I hear you. It's the same with building custom bikes vs stock production. 3x the cost and time for 5% more gain. I always tell myself I'm going to stick with stock but never do. Problem with buying a 6 conversion is it's hard to find one that was done right with the make up and performance I want. Many have compromizes and parts that aren't what I want. I don't want to pay for parts just to repurchase other parts. If I'm doing a 6, I want a recent fuel injection that will start in all conditions with a turn of a key. - But I also said, If someone has a nice stash of parts they have decided not to use or even a car to sell, PM me and we'll talk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If this is the case then do it right and do it once: 915/wevo.
