No idea what stuff costs 914/6 conversion., Need help to SWAG parts $$ Options

[Jett]

We are acquiring and restoring the parts to get ready for a six conversion and need some help getting a better feel for the prices. Any help with estimates would be appreciated.

We are starting with a 75 Palma 914 1.8 rust free from CA, but beat by the sun! We are rebuilding a 1969 911S 2.0 motor, and are looking to Dr. Evil to rebuild the transmission and install the LSD. A friend has a large stash of parts that he is generously donating to the build, like the motor, but I am concerned that he is under charging even though he is doing the mechanical work on the car. Here are some parts we pulled out so far:

1. 1969 911S aluminum calipers
2. 1978 front struts complete
3. Weber’s 40 IDF freshly restored

Thanks

Estimates will vary widely. It all depends on who's parts you use and whether or not you are you are paying for labor.

I'll be underwater even using my own labor.

Exhaust pipes & HE -- $1400 - 2500 ish depending on who's (Headers are cheaper)
Muffler -- $600-$800
Oil lines - $500-600 ish (hard and soft)
Engine mount - $350 MadDog OEM + another $90 for the isolator
Oil Tank -- $500 - 700
Oil Tank filler -- $100-200 ish
Oil Tank filter console - $150
Engine Tin -- $500 - 900 depending on who's and whether powder coated or painted with rattle can. Crazy money for 914/6 OEM tin.
Shift rod modifications -- ? (I'll do my own)
5 lug conversion -- varies widely
5 lug Fuchs -- varies widely
Brakes -- varies widely especially if you want 914/6 rear calipers

That's what comes to mind quickly

I highly recommend all @mb911 's stuff and of course you can check his general pricing at

Yeah it's really hard to say because there's so many ways to skin this cat.
This link here is the cheapest way to build a /6.

You can use MSDS headers and a used 911 muffler, used headers often are in the FS section.
Vellios tanks come up FS.
I pounded my surround tin out of a 911 set and a T4 rear flywheel tin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
I made my mount , an RJ copy, MIG welded

Etc., etc., etc.....

The sickness runs deep.
