I have a line on a 911 engine with Webers in the 245hp range for, say...$1500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
I don't have any of the details on displacement, CR, builder, age, blah, blah...yet. Of course, you buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Question is, What will I pay to finish the install? After exhaust, fuel set-up, adapters,oil tank,etc...Bottom line is? $2000...$3000...$5000...tell me straight up, I'm sitting down! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) What are the positives and negatives of doing this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE(1973914 @ Apr 23 2004, 11:10 AM) THEN if you are smart: Tear down the motor and ensure it was done right, refresh what has gone bad from sitting (how long), and put back together. This number could be anything from $1000-5000 depending on what motor and what it needs. Ask me how i know you cant just slap a motor that has sat and sat into a car and EXPECT it to run fine.... Then of course all the conversion stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm going with what he said! A 245hp six for $1500??? TGTBT, I promise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Let's just say OK you got the deal of a lifetime on the engine. You'll still have to get the chassis, suspension, and brakes to handle that kind of horsepower. AND then the six conversion parts, with additional oil cooling for your high output gift engine. I'm saying $15,000 all said and done, providing you find more left testicle deals and do all the work yourself. Or you can bring it to me next summer and I'll do it for $45 and hour, and 15% over cost on parts and outside labor. PK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
