How long did it take you to complete your /6 conversion? And by complete I mean in general running daily drive-able - we all know our cars are never finished being worked on! From 2 separate starting points....
A) From making the decision of wanting to do a /6 conversion and starting to collect parts/engine - to completion. B) Beginning the actual conversion of removing the /4 engine and installing mounts/lines/oil tanks/etc - to completion. Feel free to add any details that might have influenced how long it took...e.g. married, 5 kids, 3 jobs, 10 other project cars, etc etc. |

The answer lies in 1) how motivated you are, 2) how much money you are willing/able/ready to spend, 3) how handy you are doing things yourself, and 4) how 'complete' you want to make it.
Huey was a 1.8 when we started, and I had zero parts except an engine because we just swapped engines from Papa Smurf for the first few years. It took about 8 months got get from this: to this: |
