I do things...  Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |
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) |

MSD box. The carbs wound up on my 2.7, after a venturi change to 34 and major jetting work. The cam in my motor is a more for torque that 906-ish peak. Not sure what the jets were on the 2.2 as they came with the motor. The secret is locked up in Kravig's head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
