Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

Yea, I get it. All valid points. I guess most of it comes down to what matters to you.
It is alot about pedigree to me. The aircooled six is the heart of old school Porsche goodness IMHO. And a six close behind your ears is ultimate way to get close to that heart. Mine is an original six so I guess that makes a difference in the pedigree part. I get the constant paranoia of blowing up into a big money event. I built my own motor also but after several years of running it and even a track weekend I am over the worry. My car is a driver, so less paranoia maybe. I guess I look at it as part of the experience. |
