It's me again. I want to do the 3.0 SC conversion and was wondering if they had a kit that yuo can buy with what you need. Or if someone could walk me through it or give me rough instructions to give me an idea of what I'm up against would be great.
Thanks, Derek |

Brad, I think there's a classic thread where you've laid all this out.
I've been thinking long and hard about this for a couple of years. I think the best way to go is to start with an original six. It costs a little more up front but the value is retained in the car. For example: original six in good shape: $15-16K good 3-3.2L motor $3-7K a few mods 2-3K sale of original six engine and webbers $3K (is that about right?) total $17-23K and if the car is nice it's worth $20K on the market 4 cylinder car in good shape $5K six conversion parts $4K good 3-3.2L motor $3-7K 5 lug suspension $2K a few mods 2-3K $16-$21K but car is worth $12K on the market The other way to go is to buy someone elses conversion for $12K. Even if you put more money into it you'll probably be ahead. |
