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? |

Ask Dan Root about the ease and expense of a quick SIX conversion.
What, he's done like 4 in the last year. ( Prolly more ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) The bottom line is choice, here. Would you spend $5-8k on a stock rebuilt FOUR or do you buy a good used SIX and convert for $5-8k? Or...Do you step up and do a NEW BIG FOUR? Now were talking $12k and up...Way up, as we've seen and heard. For that kind of money, why would you pass on the BIG SIX? Up to $25k for an all out high revving monster FOUR. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) And now for this...I've never heard of anybody putting a four in their 911. The SIX is where it's at. Last option if you had to do it, is to put in a good used stock FOUR. I've got my old 2.0 FOUR in my shed, just in case. ( it'll get Webers if that day arrives. Until I find another SIX ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) KT |
