Which engines are the best 6 cylinders. It seems I read somewhere that mid 70's models were lacking in durability. What was it and is there a fix now? And as far as value, which would be the best.

I agree with what you guys are saying re. the 3.0-3.2 engines as the "sweet spot".
Unless you are doing track stuff, and that puts you into a classification with guys spending $50K-100K on their cars and you are on a "budget". In that case the 2.0-2.7 sizing (depending what fits in your class and what you have access to) starts to look pretty darn good. For a street conversion, no question, go with a strong 3.0 or 3.2 injected donor and don't look back. You will have the bulletproof motor of the 80's 911's with about 800lbs less car to haul around. |
