I suppose, outside the engine, the cost saving there is more standard exhaust set up and using stock engine mounts? About 2/3 of the cost of a /6. A lot of factors so that's a real rough ballpark. Several years ago a big four with nickies was a wash with doing a /6 conversion, but with the price of 911 cores/parts now I'd say it's back at 2/3 again. The big difference is a 4, even a big one, can use almost every stock 914 part. It might not be optimal but it all fits. A six needs a mount, engine tin, oil tank & lines, exhaust, etc, all specific to a six. |

Tdskip,
I would go with the 3.2 that you have and just put a Steve Wong Chip in it. You will not be sorry with the performance. Sell the 2.7 to get the money to do the conversion. I think the 2.7 will need more than the top end as the thermal reactor cars have stud problems a lot of the time. My first ride in a six was in 1979 from a buddie that had a 3.0 with injection, stock body Carrera front end, 6s x 16 all around and all I can say was we took a right turn at 55 or so and while I thought we would crash, the car just handled it. I almost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) my pants. Bob B Build a super nice car. You will not lose money if you do it right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |
