    G50 Conversion of 901

    I've got a perfectly good, rebuilt, 901 in a SWB. Other than a more robust G50 why would I want to do this? My 2.2 is fine too so no plans for a 3.0 swap. I've sen a few G50 conversion 'kits' and my interest was piqued.

    I can't think of any reason someone would make a kit to install a G50 behind a 2.2.

    Someone over on PP claims they have all the parts for a 65-86 conversion. Other than money, more torque and more weight I don't see the reason for a G50-3.0 setup. Just curious.

    Honestly the G50 I drove (in a 3.2) was nothing special. A well set up 901 or even 915 is more enjoyable.

    A G50 conversion is a massive undertaking, especially in a SWB. There are lots better ways to waste time and money, IMHO.
