I am considering the purchase of a 911 s engine on this site to swap for my 1.7. However, I would like to get an idea of the work involved to make this happen. Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers, John |

+1 on establishing a realistic budget.
For the past 25 yrs my mantra has been "I don't know anyone who has successfully done a 6 conversion that's said: I should've left it a 4" |

I whole heartedly agree Perry. The two cars are of totally different demeanor, and while not putting down the six, the four is a car of complete joy, the six one of discontented unhappiness.
The key, is two have two 914s; a four and a six, and depending on ones mood drive that car that day!! (I think anyone who has both cars will know the feeling I am trying to convey +1 on establishing a realistic budget.
