Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

I've had mine in for a few years now, with trips from Minnesota to Utah and back, and another from Minnesota to Idaho and back, I can say with 90% certainty that I would not do a 6-swap again, but I would likely do a Subaru swap of some sort.
Even now there's a small part of me that wants to pull the 6 out, sell it, and put a Suby in. Only real challenge there is that I cut off the old 4-cyl mounts when I put the 6 in... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1709302367.1.jpg) |

And it's not enough juice I removed the /4 mounts also, but would probably not go back to a /4 btw: looks sweet |

When I had a 2.7 Camrys and most other cars were faster 0-60. Still a 2.7 is the biggest and easiest to install. Backdate the flywheel and bolt it in. I hate KEP clutches. If I was budget constrained I would install a Subi EZ30. |
