So,
I had never had the chance to drive a 911 or a 914/6 before. I now own a 3.2 carerra cab...and I must say its an impressive motor. Quiet...no valve rap is the first thing that gets me smiling. Second is that it has more power than I have found road to use safely. Sure I run it up in second or third....but I never push it all the way through 5th... So, I love the torque...what a refreshing difference. The support for parts is very strong, and the fuel injection is simple and still quite fixable. So, if I budget 5-8k for a type 4 monster... OR 5-8k for an installed and running 3.2 or 3.6 motor. Can the 6 be done for that? I do all my own work...so labor is free. If I could find a 4k motor, that would do the trick..I keep seeing them for 5-8k just for the motor....that is to much for me to make this leap... a 5-8k type 4 motor would also make me smile alot...
