Hey all -
can someone point me to a good comprehensive build list / budget for a 3.0 conversion on a 1.7L vehicle? It has been pointed out by numerous posters that it is hard to budget for, and that whatever number I choose is going to be too low - but it might be useful for the forum to have a fairly complete "what do you need" list for the inexperienced amongst us - at the LOW end of the range. I realize that for each item if you go nuts and buy new / gold plate the stuff it will be lots more, but in order to get a project on the road at the low end, what am I looking at????.....I'll start (but I envision this in an excel spreadsheet with numbers low/high/ideal next to the items). I'll compile the excel sheet and share with the group when we're done -
2.7 - 3.0 - 3.2L Donor engine - running $4,000 - 5,000 - $10,000
Refurb if needed - $???
CIS brains or Carbs - $???
Clutch - $????
Trans (915?) - $2,000 - 3,000
Engine Tin - $???
Oil Cooling system - cooler and lineset - $1,000
Upgraded CVs - ????
5 Lug rear hubs - ????
5 Lug Fronts w/ brake upgrade - $1,000
Fuel distribution system - $????
What am I missing?
And Andy - how do we share excel files or similar with the group?
Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone - I hope Santa brings us all good Porsche stuff this year!
