Out of the blue the wife gave me permission to spend a bunch of cash on the teener. I have the slightest idea what I did right or what she did wrong.

I have to check out the finances but I'd like to do a 6 conversion. I know diddly about the flat 6. I need some help.

My end goal is to basically have a street legal track car. I like the small high reving 6's but like I said I know nadda. The only thing that it has to have is carbs. I'm not into FI and ECU's.

What's my best engine choice? I'm about 1/4 way through the 911 performance handbook trying to educate myself. I can build an engine if thats my best option.

I should also ask the average conversion cost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
