Hey Guys, Im new here. I have this 70 that needs a lot of work but Im ready to go to town. I am not sure if I want to convert to a 6 yet. If I do, I have a 3.0 and a 3.6 I could choose from. What kind of power can I get out of a 4 before it makes more sense to go with a 6?

If it were me (and of course this all depends on budget), use the 3 liter six that you have, PMO's or EFI ITB's, Tangerine flairs, 915 with cable shift, 914 werkes conversion stuff, FRP hood, trunk and bumpers, Watkins Glenn seats from GTS (with a cool tartan) 911 front suspension, 944 brakes maybe in Steve McQueen Slate Grey.
I agree about big four builds, no personal experience but I am thinking that by the time you build a reliable 180 hp four youll be close to a solid 3.0 liter build with way more grunt and longevity. If you dont think a six is a good idea, check out Bob's video below. Unrestrained budget - I might do the Polo motor with EFI and a 901 just to be different and preserve the light weight agility of a four ! |
