Hey all -
can someone point me to a good comprehensive build list / budget for a 3.0 conversion on a 1.7L vehicle? It has been pointed out by numerous posters that it is hard to budget for, and that whatever number I choose is going to be too low - but it might be useful for the forum to have a fairly complete "what do you need" list for the inexperienced amongst us - at the LOW end of the range. I realize that for each item if you go nuts and buy new / gold plate the stuff it will be lots more, but in order to get a project on the road at the low end, what am I looking at????.....I'll start (but I envision this in an excel spreadsheet with numbers low/high/ideal next to the items). I'll compile the excel sheet and share with the group when we're done - 2.7 - 3.0 - 3.2L Donor engine - running $4,000 - 5,000 - $10,000 Refurb if needed - $??? CIS brains or Carbs - $??? Clutch - $???? Trans (915?) - $2,000 - 3,000 Engine Tin - $??? Oil Cooling system - cooler and lineset - $1,000 Upgraded CVs - ???? 5 Lug rear hubs - ???? 5 Lug Fronts w/ brake upgrade - $1,000 Fuel distribution system - $???? What am I missing? And Andy - how do we share excel files or similar with the group? Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone - I hope Santa brings us all good Porsche stuff this year! td |

1.) Engine ... your choice .. $2000 - $10K
2.) Engine Mount ... I prefer the RJ weld in ... $525 with hardware (Maddog is a copy and cheaper). 3.) Engine Tin (up to 3.2) .... $450 4.) Oil Tank .. stock $800 - $1200 ... aftermarket aluminum $750 ... Peterson Round $400 (fit in front trunk). 5.) Filler neck for #4 .... $250 or use a 911 setup 6.) Oil console (for filter) .... $50+ (911 setup) 7.) Oil Lines (stock like 914/6) ... $700 ... If you modify for an oil cooler and don't use stock lines, $700 should cover them all. 8.) Heat Exchangers --- stock $800 - $2400 depending upon condition. If you don't need heat, headers are about $450 9.) 911 muffler (early) $600 new ... used $???? 10.) 2.0L /4 muffler hanger .... $40 new ... used $??? 11.) 911 oil temp / oil pressure gauge ..... $150 + 12.) For CIS you will need the correct fuel pump / fuel accumulator / filter ... Bosch New $600? ... Chinese $70 off eBay. Accumulator ... $200+, Filter ... $125+ 13.) Ignition system ... Bosch CDI system (and hopefully you have the engine harness) .... $500 14.) For a carbed system .... Carbs, manifold, linkage, bellcrank on tranny ... $2K 15.) /6 throttle cable ... $60 16.) Add in for additional hoses & such ... $300 17.) Clutch will be stock /4 2.0L up to 2.7L (6 bolt flywheel). Anything after requires modification of the 9 bolt flywheel ... Kennedy Engineering. (Use the stock 914 transmission). 18.) 6 Bolt early 911 flywheel ... $250 new ... $125+ used Don't think I left anything out .... and none of this addresses the 5 lug conversion, bigger brakes, wheels, chassis stiffening kit (I don't use it ... waste of money on a street machine). |
