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 |

buy Geoge Hussey's book - Auto Atlanta - it tells the whole story
beyond that - a good rebuilt 915 wil be $2500-3000 - then you have to spend another 4k minimum to make it work in a 914 with a WEVO kit if ya want a rebuilt, unused, 915 PM me - have it in the barn - $2500 cash takes it today + ship if ya want a known good '88 3.2 - PM - $6000 at my gate if ya want a nearly perfect 2.7rs, under 5K miles on it, all set up for 914-6 with PMO webers & sixer headers & everything needed to bolt-in & drive away including complete ign, fuel pump, etc - all ya need except the front mount, - $7500 at my gate - PM me . |
