Nice. Some questions:
Who did the 3.6 installation? Where did you source the 3.6 from? Was it considerably more expensive than just rebuilding the 3.2 (or whatever else was in the car originally?)

moazam,
I did the install and got the motor from a guy on this board. I can get his info if you need it. I used the Timmons kit which can be seen at www.instant-g.com The cost was pretty close to what Timmons quotes as about $15k with the install kit, motor, cooling, and exhaust. I don't know what a 3.2 rebuild by a shop goes for these days but you could save alot by doing the rebuild yourself. I took the 911 engine rebuilding class from Bruce Anderson and Jerry Woods and found that it was very informative and left me with enough information to do a rebuild if I so desired. I decided to go with the 3.6 because you get alot of bang for the buck and it was a fun project. One of the guys on the board (Moses) was nice enough to let me drive his ride and that sold me - I knew I had to have a 3.6 conversion and even though I had a few headaches here and there, it was well worth it! |

That's one badass 911, congrats. Is the RHS exhaust tip not symmetrical with the other one or is it just strange looking in that pic?
