Yet another six conversion thread, Targeting summer '07. Options

[lapuwali]

So, I picked up my '75 2.7 engine yesterday. Price was $2100, complete with CIS and 911 exhaust. From what I've seen so far, a rebuild won't be REQUIRED, but I haven't ruled out doing one yet. None of the head studs on the intake side have pulled. I haven't looked at the exhaust side, yet. The top of the cases are heavily covered in dirty, oily gook, but the cylinders and head are relatively clean. The exhaust on it is a backdated set of HEs, and it appears the engine was run that way for several years until it was removed about a year ago. It's claimed it was rebuilt once before.

If I decide not to rebuild the engine right now, I'll run the CIS as is, and maybe do an EFI conversion later.

I'm slowly going to gather parts to do the conversion. I'll be using a firewall mount, most likely Rich Johnson's.

No heat, this won't be a daily driver, so Bursch headers are the plan for now.

Fiberglass "tin" looks like it would work well enough, and it's cheap at $175 from Rennspeed, so that seems to be covered.

Oil plumbing is still open. The DWD tank seems like a good idea, but the old threads on it point to the Club Store, which isn't up. How much is this? Is it available? From whom? GPR doesn't show it on their site. I'm leaning towards AN fittings and lines, since I can make those up myself, and the fittings are readily available.

I have a line on a flywheel already.

This will be a street/AX car, so I think I can get away without an external oil cooler for now.

Adding things up, it looks like the parts (including the engine) will run me about $4500-5000, assuming no engine rebuild.

Costs so far: $2100 (used 2.7 with CIS), $170 (bad flywheel), $370 (new flywheel), $260 (firewall mount), $125 (internally regulated alternator) $150 (930 tach): $3175 to date.

Parts still to be sourced: oil tank/filler neck/console/lines ($1000), fuel pump ($200), clutch kit ($500), headers ($350 + coating: $600), oil cooler mods ($150) "tin" ($200 fiberglass): $2650

$5825 est. total cost.

The alternator isn't *required*, I just hate external regs. Complicates the wiring.
