I guess I was lucky at the time I was in San Diego (2003). The engine rebuilding machine shop only charged $650 in labor for basic rebuilding my 914/6 and 911T engines, plus the cost of parts. I spent much more than that with the upgrades (case savers, piston squirters, head work, etc.). I'm not sure what it would cost today.

I think the total cost for the 914-6 engine upgrade to 2.7 RS spec was around $6K including the parts. The 911T engine I gave to Mike Lesniak to stop him from wasting his college time on trying to put a Corvair engine into a 914. I think that engine total cost was around $1200 in parts and labor.

The conversion costs hit in the oil tank, fuel systems and the 4 to 5 lug conversion.
