First of all you have a good trans that is short so there are no mods there or in your engine bay .

Second dollar per dollar you cannot beat the conversion to a v8.

Really.......Who the hell is dreaming of a 75-77 930 anyway and wants to keep it totally stock......woop dee doo!!!!!!

that said.....these conversions (done right) are not cheap and you will have problems to sort out like when you get greedy and want more than 450hp and 400ft/lbs torque you will run in to cooling issues.

the big problem with these is ythe owner gets talked into doing these and they (conversion companies) say that you can do it inexpensively. then the owner runs out of money and the systems are not right yet. then it is sold at a loss. big loss!!!!!

Everyone sees the failed v8 conversion on ebay and says they suck and a whole host of other names.

Do what you want but know what you are getting into and you will be happier.

From someone that has been there... don't start it unless you have some play money and really want to do it or you will fail.
