Which /6 motor is cheaper to rebuild? 2.7L or the 3.0L?
1. Assume core motor is in good condtion and no crazy findings when you tear it down. 2. Assume you are building the motor for longevity 3. You are putting this in a 914/6 conversion (was /4) |

for 165-180 hp is a n/a subaru motor the most cost effective choice? Assuming the original poster was interested.
Can you mount the radiator above the motor like the VW guys do? has anyone done that in a 914? To answer the original question (2.7 vs 3.0) for cost, read wayne's book he adds up the machining cost on a 2.7 it is quite substantial. I used to have a 2.7 and elected to jump to the 3.0 case for this reason. |
