16.5K for the original car, and roughly 23K(including a fresh 3.3L, rebuild 915 for the conversion to a 86 narrow-body turbo, so about 40 in. Overall, this project was worth it, but it is a much more violent car and raw than before. It wasn't simply rebuilt...it was transformed, so you have to be careful what you wish for.
Luckily, my car came with the factory front-lip spoiler that matched to the tail(which I didn't want to install, but the intercooler on the 3.3L needed a "home" to hide in".

At just 2500lbs(stripped down), and roughly 300hp/300ftlbs of torque, it hooks up really nice.

Future project is to get a 930 4-speed. The 915 with the Pro-Force Kevlar clutch and lightend flywheel works great, but the gearing is way too short on the first two gears.


BTW....your car is tight.
