So a non Porsche brand engine is an option? Many different combinations have been done. There is a member here named Fiid who is in the middle of a subaru engine conversion. He has a thread detailing his progress somewhere here. Chevy V8's are another common swap.
I'm doing a three rotor twin turbo rotary engine swap into my 914. So far I have put the following into the conversion: Mazda 20B Engine: $2600 Adapter Plate: $ 500 Clutch Kit & Pressure Plate: $700 Haltech E11 Engine Management: $ 1500 Renegade Hybrids Radiator: $ 1000 Total: $6300 US And I still have to get drive axles, a fuel system, intercooler, oil cooler, engine mounts and gauges before the car is ready to run. I'm sure my conversion is not the cheapest out there but I also know that it is not the most expensive either. Andrew is doing a 350 swap on a budget. Even with his project and skills at getting items cheaply (plus doing his own work) I would not be surprised to hear that he ends up in the $2000 to $3000 ballpark. I can't imagine anyone doing it for less. |
