2.7 RS engine conversion cost?
Eagerly awaiting Wayne's new book. I am considering rebuilding my 2.7 and wonder what the difference in cost from a standard rebuild would be compared to an RS spec engine.
i.e. What is the standard (range) cost in rebuilding a stock 2.7 liter engine?

As far as I understand the cost is similar when doing it properly . However you will spend more money on cyl head match porting, camshafts , and even more for injection if you chose not to use webers. I may be wrong though since Ive personally never performed a R/S rebuild myself.

The main difference between an RS engine and a regular 2.7 is the following:
S cams RS pistons/cylinders MFI Other than the above, your rebuild will follow the procedures for any other 911 engine. Hope this helps, Sherwood Lee http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars |

depending on your engine type, the intake and exhaust port may be different too.

2.7 RS cost
I looked into this: the shop I dealt with asked about $2K more to rebuild my 2.7 and include the MFI system. You should also consider an extermal oil cooler if you don't have one already. I hear that's another $1,200 retail.
