Hey race fans,
Sometime in the future I plan on running a 2.7 six over my four banger. Anyone have any idea about where my weight will be after the -6? I'm I looking at 50lbs? 100lbs? More?? I could drop some weight from the car still. Want to get that HP to weight just right!! Theres a large group in NASA (ST4) I think I could fit into perfectly If I get the math correct.

My car was 1995lbs wet, last time on the POC scales. That is with full race safety equipment including a passenger seat + harness. Mag case 2.7 with extensive machine work and race mods; modded mag 914 sideshift trans. 235rwhp.
As noted, the -6 engines are frighteningly expensive to have someone build/rebuild these days. Someday I may try to do one myself. Have dreamt about a short-stroke 2.5 or a full tilt 2.8 or 3.0RSR with MFI. But even the decent cores are getting spendy. |
