I have a good 2.7 core, good case, std crank, good heads that are half done on rebuild and some new parts already.
Would it be worth building as an on spec (for sale) rebuilt engine? It would be done right, likely mild performance with JE pistons, replated cylinders, new valves and cams. I can even twin plug it. What about turnkey? I have a fan, cooler, shroud, etc. and I might update my 914 intake so I could even do webers. What would it be worth? Should I do stock or mild performance? Long block or turn key? I've tried selling as a core a couple years ago, but no one was interested except for a couple of lowballers. Now /6 prices are going up and up, but the 2.7 still seems to be considered the bastard child. Not fishing for a sale, too busy to do this right now, just wondering if it's worth doing on spec. |
