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? |

Oh,
and one thing to add. I don't know what shops people are using for their 6 rebuilds, but those $10-15k number seem a bit high, unless you are talknig full blown race build. We have a rebuilt 1976 2.7S engine here for $6500, no core, and a rebuilt 3.0l for $9000. I am not trying to push product here, but just am wondering where those higher numbers are coming from??? |
