I am sure ths has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything using the search. So, has there been a comparison done between a 911 six and big four, like Jake Raby's engines? Looking at:
1. Overall cost of engine (plus consideration of the cost of the conversion to a six from a four) 2. power hp/tq 3. engine life 4. other issues? |

A couple of years after buying a new '73 2.0L, I roomed with a guy that owned a '70 six. Both cars at the time were stock (His six actually had fewer miles), and both were black. I tried driving one, then hop into the other, and back again. Near as I can recall (some 30 years later), the six was by far the stronger car. I was always amazed at how much stronger the six ran, given they were both the same displacement. Seat of the pants side-by-side test. I would have prefered the six any way you cut it. FWIW.
