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.

You can't beat the sweet sound of a Porsche flat 6 when it's on it's cams.....

I did my own mount. It's the one my dad and I discussed a couple years after I did his car. It is surprisingly similar to the RJ mount, but the concept is at least 12 years old. I still have my original pencil sketches.

You will have to look at my BLOG for details. I should be welding the mounts in either this weekend (02/25/06) or next (03/04/06).
