Need a top end rebuild should I go 3.2?
 

I have 182K miles on a 3.0L and am looking at a set of worn value guides. Should I upgrade to a 3.2 or just leave it alone? How much is the difference price wise and HP? I was quoted $3500 for a rebuild on the 3.0 top end and 180hp (200 with my SSIs) and $10K for a 3.2 topend and 210hp or for the full fun factor $16K for a 3.6 and 300+hp.

That sound right?

What are the advantages for that extra money on the 3.2 @ $6.5K if there are any?

There was a good discussion on 3.2 upgrades over on Rennlist, here:

The 3.2 P&C's alone are ~$3500.

A 3.6 swap would be about the same money as a properly done 3.2 conversion.

. . . and less than a properly done 3.6 conversion.

Porsche used a stonger box even the early turbos. (they put out less than a 3.6)

Yes, my son. Follow the light....3.2.

With some intensive therapy (and some power windows) we will have you cured of that SC thing in no time.
