Re: [DML] Engine Swap-Out

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxx>]

I disagree with the statement below.

$5K to get a extra 70HP out of a 20+ year old engine
is a awful lot of money. My conversion will be
between 260-300HP, and (best I can tell at this point)
will be about the same cost. When I am done, I will
have a modern technology engine with higher output and
better fuel economy than the PRV. More importantly,
the ability to go to any junkyard or auto part store
to get parts for the engine.

I can guess that some may think "Yea, but your project
is not done!" True, and in the end if it even works I
may blow my target price.. However, I believe the
documented Chevy V6 conversions have been under the
$5k price point. This may have been Duke?
