I was thinking of putting this engine in my 914. I realize it will be costly to install and require much modification but my budget is unlimited. Here it is:

I saw an Opel GT on ebay a while back with an Allison V12 in it.. They lengthened it by 4 or 5 feet, and it was still sitting right behind the driver. (an Allison V12 is a P-51 Mustang engine) Proof anything can be done with enough insanity coupled with enough money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Damn it, the 3.0 is to my liking, I've been thinking about it.

I'm here, I had just forgoten about this thread. I passed up the 914, it wasn't worth the price.

How much money do I want to spend? Whatever is needed to get what I want done. I have been looking a buying a 911 SC or 1988 M3 lately though, so this might need to be postponed. One of those would set me back 15,000 bucks.

Yes... The troll...

(IMG:http://www.telusplanet.net/public/keess/troll.jpg)

is still here.

Oh, and here's a picture of my living quarters.

GreekDriver,
I'm glad you have a sense of humor, this is a tough crowd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Here's another choice, if you can drive like you're in economy class... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

ROFLMAO!

I guessed the 3.0, AND you actually do belong here... you are going to need a titled rust pile, and make sure to post off topic stuff whenever possible!

WELCOME! lol!

I can't tell ya where my bridge is, those god damn tourists are all over the damn place.

Anyways, a search for 3.0 or six or swap, really didn't bring up anything I could use... How much does a 3.0L motor cost? And what would a performance rebuild go for?

$5-6k running with high mileage (100-200k). the more popular swap is the 3.2. these engines will go for a long time if taken care of.

a performance rebuild? bring buckets of cash. sky's the limit.
