I have a line on a 911 engine with Webers in the 245hp range for, say...$1500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
I don't have any of the details on displacement, CR, builder, age, blah, blah...yet. Of course, you buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Question is, What will I pay to finish the install? After exhaust, fuel set-up, adapters,oil tank,etc...Bottom line is? $2000...$3000...$5000...tell me straight up, I'm sitting down! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) What are the positives and negatives of doing this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I dunno... I did a search, but couldn't find it again... but Brad posted a complete list of parts needed and the prices to budget last year sometime... the total came in close to 10K... but I dunno what he was figuring on budgeting for the engine... probably MUCH more than 1500 though...
positives I know of: more hp, more torque.. better resale value negative I know of: not as much hp or torque as a chevy conversion and more expensive than a chevy conversion but what do I know? I say go for it! I personally think a -6 is cooler than a SBC anyday! |
