If someone is going to start looking for a 6 to build what do you want and what do you want to avoid?

The 993 Divilar, full thread, coated studs are the way to go. Steel studs come loose due to uneven expansion rates......no big deal if you don't mind retorquing the heads a few times till the aluminum is done coldworking (if you don't know what type of coldworking I'm speaking of, ask)......this assumes case savers have been installed.
The 2.7L gets a bad rap. All the motors have weak points and need to be rebuilt to adress these issues. With a mag case just keep it cool and it'll live. That said, if I was gonna do it again I'd use a 3.0L unless I was building to class. |
