914-6 conversion?, Build? Options

I want to have a 6 swap done and wanted to know what kind of pricing or is there someone in California to call and get an idea of what it will take?

Just my two cents..............ERRRRRRRR. I MEAN $38,000 that's what Patrick Motorsport quoted me for a turn key 2.7 motor.

I was like ok Bro no problem............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)
Then I went to FAT Proformance in Orange Calif. they were about 1/3 of the price for a turn key 2270....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I understand the HP difference and the whole 6 vs 4 cool factor thing, just can't justify that type of pricing. I have been looking at Calif auto dismantling, there average price for a 3.2 is about $ 10,000. I figure another $ 5,000 for misc parts and shit happens stuff that pops up and I am good as brakes and 5 lug stuff is already done.

No way will you do it for just $5k over the 3.2 engine. Do you just have five lug or do you have a 911 drivetrain with large cv's. You will need oil tank, modify on engine oil cooler, oil console, oil fill, thermostat, hard and soft lines and oil cooling, clutch and pressure plate. suspension, engine mount, accelerator linkage, tach, speed sensors, oil pressure and temp gauge. Engine to body harness, engine sheet metal, headers, exhaust, ect.

911 stuff already done by PMS. Guess I will have to revisit the extras.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Makes FAT look that much more appealing.
