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)

The question of value came up earlier in the thread. So as stated, I have 18K in the motor alone, and it's not an insane build by any stretch. I feel - MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION - that a well built 6 in a well executed 914 is a solid car from a value proposition as well as resale. I just repainted my car, and every nut and bolt has been reconditioned to be as new.

I built the 914-6 I feel that Porsche would have built, and my car is a mix of Rebel Racing, Tangerine, PMB, and many other names you all know from here.

I have 42K in my build total, including the price of the car, which I paid $2600 for. I do ALL my own work - that is, I am building the motor, and I painted the car myself. besides machine shop fees, no other outside expenses were incurred.

You could not duplicate my car for 80K if someone else did the work. So I feel that a 914 with a REAL Porsche motor is a solid investment even though I have no intentions of selling - Ever.

And I own 3 other Porsches including a 356B.

Keep it in the family. I have other non-Porsches as well. But my Porsches will always have Porsche motors.
