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)

boxsterfan,

what kind of max budget for engine rebuild were you hoping was realistic when you posted this thread?

what kind of budget you setting aside for related conversion parts and other general upgrades to accompany the more powerful engine?

aside from these, will you be paying for any labor?

everyone wants a six, no doubt, but many settle for suby or chevy power due to less cost, and in some cases more modern transaxles.

all the best with your car, looking forward to seeing it progress.
