[QUOTE="Dalamar, post: 16368, member: 8116"] I'm gonna have to debate you on this one snakie. the value of a used setup depends on what you find. but swapping from a 2V to a 4V takes alot more than the motor. you have a different computer and wiring system, and alot of odds and ends that you'll be adding to get it running. that will all add up in $$$ and hours. plus you look at HP gains from any 4V, NA unless you're adding a blown, forged 03 cobra setup, you're only gaining around 100-150ish HP. you can get over 100 HP from ported PI heads and cams on a 2V. I have a dyno sheet from TPH, twin turbo'd 2V - 911 rwhp. :bunny3: there's more info on my thread on the PI swap. [b]Please read.[/b] [url]http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=1292.0[/url] the 4V is nice, but it's not "alot better" when paired up to a nicely built 2V. remember, the mighty 302 is a 2V with 1 cam.... :D I've raced a 96 cobra (4V) when I was still NPI and he only beat me by 1 car.... another factor in my book - if you're wanting to push over 500 HP, you'll have to rebuild the shortblock on the 4V too. $$$$ there's also alot to be said about correct suspension setup for traction, launches and corner exit, and good old fashoned "im lighter than you'r 4V. pig." (no offence Snakie) I've looked into these options before, so I have my opinions, hope it's helpful good luck :) [/QUOTE]
