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

Just trying to be helpful


DONT Mean to be rude

But if your asking this question then you have no idea
And no business attempting this swap


Your in way over you head

Budgets for these swaps can run into the 15 to 20 k
Range and thats not including the motor .

Warning you are entering a slipppppery slope


So just makes more sense to get a car already
Converted to a /6


I did a big /4:and its a ton of fun for a lot less money
I spent 6800$ total including the motor .




Correct me if im wrong guys but with the/6

The money you'll be spending on wine and cheese alone
Is going to get exorbitant
