The SIX just makes sense to me -no chopping required for radiators etc. No custom exhaust, mates right up to your 901/914 gearbox -all your homework has been done by the Porsche factory. It's the engine your car was born for.

Fourteener - yes I agree - but to do a six coversion properly is not cheap - whilst my car is far from stock
even going for a 2.0 six will cost. In hindsight, I have recently (read last three years) wondered whether I'd have been better off with a 911 or even a genuine 6.

Ian, Cost-wise you're depressingly most probably right.
But your money was still better spent than on a big four.

Totally agree.
