Rebuild a 2.7L or 3.0L six motor, which is cheaper? Options

[boxsterfan]

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)

I had a 74 2.7 pre thermal reactors with 50k on it in my conversion 15 years ago. I rebuilt the engine only because I bought everything new at a vw swap meet for 100 dollars (what a deal) it was more of while Ivan at it. The engine had no time certs so I was going to do that while I was at it. I bought the time certs and looked at the course threads of the time certs and looked at how they were only .010 or so from breaking into the spigots that I decided not to do it. Keep in mind I have built hundreds of aircraft engines and also many porsche engines as well so take this with a grain of salt but the only reason to put time certs in is to repair pulled threads not to give extra strength..
