To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.
My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? |

To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from. My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? Be a little more specific. Are you supplying the parts or does the shop do this? Do you want a front oil cooler. Upgrades to the suspension and brakes? Factory like parts or after market? There are many, many variables that go into this. Like as in "blank check" for a shop to do the conversion? If that is yes (blank check) for a GOOD shop to do this, it will not be cheap. I just completed a 914-6 conversion a couple of years ago. My engine (2.7 MFI) was $25k from the shop plus the $10-15k of my parts and restoration on top of that. The gearbox (LSD, short gears, rebuild) was $14k. The actual installation by the shop was about $10k. But then I sourced the oil tank, engine mount, engine wiring harness, etc myself. I'd say a ball park number is anywhere from $25k-65k depending on engine size, if rebuilt or used, etc, etc. |
