I'm looking for an engine for my car. I'm considering a 2.7 /6 conversion. The 2.7, despite it's possible problems, looks like it would be far less expensive than a 3.0 or later /6.
Problem is, I know very little about them. I know that they are notorious for pulled head studs. I know that the tensioner upgrade and turbo cam covers are desirable. Worst case, what am I looking at if I purchase a core sight unseen? Is it scrap? How much does machine work typically cost to rebuild a 2.7? Time-serts? My other options are a 2270 or a Subie. The Subie kills any chance of competitive racing, but the reliability looks promising. The 2270 would be in the distant future, as I don't have the funds for a complete engine right now. I figure I could build a 2.7/6 over time and fund it as I go step by step. Might take years. Any advice on the 2.7 option? |
