Porsche makes a "real" V6? I didn't know that until today!, Not that I'm looking at doing a conversion... :) Options

Again, looking at parts for a car I don't even own!

Anyway....

I knew about the 3.2 VW based VR6 15° motor, years ago before I abandoned all things 914 I was in the process of fitting one into my 914, the back of the motor is super tall since that is where the timing chain and gears are for the cams, it required cutting into the rear trunk....I didn't care for that all that much. (Cayenne or SUV motor)


So today I stumbled upon the Porsche 90° V6 which according to what I've read is more or less their new V8 engine sans 2 cylinders! As of now it only comes in the base Panamera(?)

For the life of me I cannot find a used motor for sale just to get a base price on them...tons of the V8 models out there and surprisingly not that expensive....of course $5K is ton of money for a used motor but still about half of what I see some older air-cooled sixes going for.

A bargoon at 4k,do not fail to check the bores with a recording borescope,sniff n sample the oil.Mounted transverse with a Getrag 6,a decent induction system for the turbo to step up to serious git.
Nothing like that deal in these parts,there otto be a lineup on Monday am.A Porsche Turbo V6 powered 914,the first,a dial-a-boost for the summertime track thrash.
Haven't seen a transverse install in these cars yet,improved cg makes room to the rear and trunk.A nice clean newtech engine for good fuel economy in cruise conditions and power to snap you into the headrest at every stoplight at will.A well endowed 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
