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? |

You also can’t go by old prices. The engine in my 3.2 conversion was purchased in 2011 for $4,500. It had been recently overhauled and was in good running condition. Those prices are long gone.
Many times the mindset for a six conversion seems to be focused on how cheap can it be done. I’d like to change that thinking to how well can it be done. If we love the end result, we will want to keep the car for years and the initial cost will be worth it. |
