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)

Well, golly.....
Spend a little time on the Pelican 911 engine rebuild forum.....about 6-8 months ought to do it. There were several fellas (years ago) that were building engines and not trying to sell ya something. It takes some research just to understand WTF they are trying to tell you.

Yes, there are a bunch of special tools needed and a Tech manual. I've sold mine for about what I paid for them.....about 15 years ago. Engine build authors of late, are trying to sell books......IMO, about 30% of the "opinions" are pure BS used to cover their asses.....

Line boring a mag case is a waste of money. If a drag hone won't clean it up......shit can it. It will re-warp as soon as you heat it up, regardless.....but if it makes you feel better......Bruce Anderson has passed but his words have not.(that is a hint)

Studs, case savers, et al have their champions....make you own choice. The proof will be in the pudding.

I, like every one else, have an opinion & you'll find more on Pelican....

Pudding pics.....it ain't rocket science.
