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? |

If you want to start talking about v-8's... I can buy a 600+ horse SBC here locally for $3500 (Sprint car motor minus induction (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) ) I figure i can have it in the car and running for under $8K without much trouble. It's got some killer compression so i'd have to run it on Alcohol (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) and it would turn a 914 trans into lots of little pieces, but if you want to compare HP/$ it's damned near impossible to beat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) It appears to me that people keep going bigger w/ the motors, start w/ a 1.8, then a 2056, then a 2.4L six, then a 3liter, dreams of going to a 3.6L... I happen to not like all the middle steps, and prefer to do it right the 1st time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
