The 2.7 engine properly built is by far more worthy than the general consensus would ever agree too.
Cost of a Porsche motor rebuild is relative to any motor with regards to upgrding components, power or performance.
For all non believers of the 2.7 all you have to do is walk the paddocks of any race track and take a close look. You will find and be surprised how many 2.7 power plants are being driven hard on a rigorous basis. Why you may ask? They are a true race motor, Power to weight ratio is unmatched, reliability unmatched,
versatility characteristics unmatched, they are strong they are fast.
Why is it when disscussing rebuilding the 2.7 eveyone says,
"Very exspensive rebuild" what is more expensive about rebuilding a 2.7 versus any other motor? it can't be the cost of the installation of the case savers, what $350.00 - $400.00
other than case savers what ever you do to the 2.7 has to be done to all Porsche motors. Can anyone tell me what part of rebuilding the 2.7 makes it so outragous in compared to rebuilding a 3.0, 3.2 so on. and why is concidered more cost effective to swap out a used 3.0 that will eventually need upgrades and repairs of it's own.
