So a buddy of mine wants to sell me a 2.7 out of an old targa for $500. Supposedly this thing ran when parked. It comes complete with the CIS injection. I was going to do a big four this winter as the car currently has a cammed and carbed 2056. The car is an occasional daily driver, monthly axer, and every once in a while it will see the track. I wouldn't mind doing the conversion, ditching the injection and throw some cams and headwork in the picture. I don't really want to increase the weight of the car but this is inevitable. The car is awesome as is except I could use another 1000 rpm for some of the ax courses. If I do the conversion I will have to re-setup the car which would mean brakes and suspension. I am very tempted to go through with it. Does anyone want to talk me out of it or should I quit my crying and buy it?

I'd agree that you do have to look carefully at all the costs involved, but the final project is a lot of fun. I did mine years ago, and had great fun doing the conversion. You will need a conversion flywheel as well if you use the 914 transmission.
I'd also agree that the price of the engine is a great deal. If you do decide to go through with the project, PM me as I do have some parts that may be of use to you if you decide to proceed with the project. |
