I have researched the flat 6 conversion options, and could not justify a reasonable rebuild cost as 6 cylinder parts/components are significantly more expensive.
Please comment on current flat 6 experience and costs. |

QUOTE(JimVG @ Dec 28 2024, 09:24 AM)  I have researched the flat 6 conversion options, and could not justify a reasonable rebuild cost as 6 cylinder parts/components are significantly more expensive. Please comment on current flat 6 experience and costs. Good running 3.0 12-16k Good running 3.2 16-20k Good running 3.6 20-30k 914-6 conversion parts $10-20k. Rebuilt almost any six at our shop, $15-25k for parts, $12.5k labor. The six conversions never make financial sense. It’s all about a want, not a need. Restorations, whether it’s a car or an engine are always going to be financially wrong but that never stopped me or many of my customers from pursuing our dreams. |
