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? |

You'd be speechless if you saw the proposals that read digits over 25K for sure then.......
Building an engine that sells for 25K is very stressful to say the least, dynoing it is enough to make your nerves send you to the Dr..... These big jobs find their way to me more and more every year, and I turn half or more of them down because the customers are jerks and I feel I can't please them. I have 4 sub 25K engines to build in the next 9 months..... Of course they are not the mainstream of what we do, these are my projects that take sometimes 200 hours to complete....... (I'm not kidding) You should price a stock rebuild on a 356 engine.... I start at 10K .... Want to go more crazy?? Price a rebuild on a 547 4 Cam Carrera engine...... 75K+ IF your core is in good shape to get 130 HP!!! |
