Budget six conversion builders, Please tell us how you do it! Options

[anthony]

I compiled the following list of conversion parts. This is just to put a six cylinder engine in the car and doesn't include a 5 lug conversion or suspension mods. So for you guys that throw out low total conversion prices please tell us how you did it and how you cut costs. Often I see references to exceptional deals on engines that can't be easily reproduced or incomplete parts lists that don't include all the parts or headers/exhaust.

Compare apples to apples guys


I could do an el-cheapo T4 for about $1000 and it would have more power than a tired 2.0/6...hell of a lot less work. But I have the resources.

How much does headrage have into his /6 now...just a bit of bad luck.

Back on the bird board one member (posting in this thread) sent me his list (.pdf) with about $15,000 in parts. His car is still not what I call done.

How much do some of the guys really have into some of there conversions here??"? of the low budget jobs here how many are real hackjobs??

Some of the guys going "hell ya I get/do everything cheap" have talents, tools, time, friends and resources way beyond the scope of the regular guy.
To me their good advice is just piss poor advice in drag.
