How long did it take you to complete your /6 conversion? And by complete I mean in general running daily drive-able - we all know our cars are never finished being worked on! From 2 separate starting points....

A) From making the decision of wanting to do a /6 conversion and starting to collect parts/engine - to completion.

B) Beginning the actual conversion of removing the /4 engine and installing mounts/lines/oil tanks/etc - to completion.

Feel free to add any details that might have influenced how long it took...e.g. married, 5 kids, 3 jobs, 10 other project cars, etc etc.
