Jim was talking about a "big six" which I think means a 3.0 or bigger. That motor is going to cost atleast $3k more like $5k for a good one. The rest is spent on the conversion parts which cost about $5k for all the parts and pieces.
If you do the conversion in a $2k car sure you won't get your money back ever. Start with a car worth $5k and you will get "some" return on your money, maybe 50 cents on the dollar. Hey, who's counting anyway!
Kevin, I don't think orginal sixes are all that anyway! They are nice because of their orginality not hp. A 914 or a 914/6 with a 3.0l is worth the money due to the conversion plus the condition of the rest of the car.
