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?

I'm personally Porsche and Ford biased this is my only Porsche I would like a 911 in the near future but I am finishing a 53 ford coupe with a 427 that will be fun. Engine for the 914 I've been pretty set on a 3.2 but when I spoke to someone and he told he could do the 302 swap for literally half the price I figure hell for the 20k for just a 6 swap I could almost complete the car with that being said I'm a big fan of mid engine v8 cars but I've never been in or drove a 914/8 and I'm leaning more towards the 6 but I thought a 302 powered 914 would be gt40 like. I'd like to know about Justin's 914 with 280hp that sounds like an interesting setup to me! Sorry to hear that it look like a sweet setup.

QUOTE(hyespeed @ Jun 15 2016, 10:44 AM)  I'm personally Porsche and Ford biased this is my only Porsche I would like a 911 in the near future but I am finishing a 53 ford coupe with a 427 that will be fun. Engine for the 914 I've been pretty set on a 3.2 but when I spoke to someone and he told he could do the 302 swap for literally half the price I figure hell for the 20k for just a 6 swap I could almost complete the car with that being said I'm a big fan of mid engine v8 cars but I've never been in or drove a 914/8 and I'm leaning more towards the 6 but I thought a 302 powered 914 would be gt40 like. I'd like to know about Justin's 914 with 280hp that sounds like an interesting setup to me! Sorry to hear that it look like a sweet setup. The 302 might be 1/2 the cost to convert, however it might be worth 1/4 what a nice proper 3.2 conversion would go for when time to sell. Being in California you aren't too far from all kinds of conversions, I'm sure you can find someone with mid sized /6 (like a 3.0 or 3.2) and a small block Chevy (I know, you said Ford fan, you won't know the difference while sitting in the drivers or passenger seat. Both are a blast, I've driven a narrow bodied /6 with a 3.0 translplant a few times and it was a great combo. I've also driven a few SBC conversions and those too are fun to drive. If it was my money I'd opt for SBC, if was someone elses money I'd go for Porsche /6. |
