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 have about 18K in my unfinsihed 2.7 (still waiting to be re-assembled while I finish painting the car). The usual stuff, Competition Engineering machining, cams by Daugherty, Weber 40s, re-nikasiled pistons, etc. etc etc.

And I do all my own work, not including machining or cam grinding. It's expensive...

There you go.....
18k in an unfinished motor.
That should scare the whiz out of most sane people.
I'm telling you 911 rebuilds are not for the faint of heart.
Up to you if you believe me or not.
Bring loads of cash....and you better know what you're doing when you're conversing with your engine builder.

Wish you luck.
There really is nothing better than a sweet running Porsche 911 six cylinder engine.
