A clean -6 conversion for $29k? Unless there were rust concerns beyond the small door bubble, I am surprised this is still here.

The 2.7 puts out a clean 175 hp stock. You can spend a chunk more like I did to take the power to 235hp, using a solex cam, RS pistons, carbs, and a twin plug setup. 2.7s get a mixed rap among 911 owners but they are pretty great motors and much cheaper than comparable 3.0 or 3.2, just need to be sure the usual issues are dealt with. Their only downside is that a rebuild can add a few extra dollars at the machine shop. A running dry 2.7 is a great place to start, and the basis for a few quick mods (cam and pistons).

Building your own -6 conversion is at least a $20k proposition plus the donor car. Like JMIRiz, I also built a 2.7 Euro RS spec, and am already at about $18-20k in just the engine alone. The bill from Ollies was $4500.

With this one, you are at least $10-15k ahead. If you are on the fence, get off and buy it. If it were mine, I’d sell the CIS, add PMOs or Weber’s, and a solex cam. Great sound, fun power, for easy money.
