"tight budget" and "Porsche"?
Any six will cost $3000-$10,000 to swap, depending on what you choose, how much work you do yourself, and how lucky you are in finding an engine that isn't a complete pile of poo and requires a rebuild. I don't know if anyone has successfully swapped in a 944 engine, but being the first is always more expensive. The 928 engine has been done, and I'll bet it cost a pretty penny. Nice result, though. If you want a cheap, more powerful engine, and can live with something that didn't come with a Porsche badge on it orginally, the Subaru fours are quite inexpensive and even the non-turbo models are in the 150hp range. Many of the turbos are over 200hp. This swap is more in the $1000-$3000 range. |
