When I see engine tins alone for $150, methinks this is a good deal for someone.
The case, the heads, the FI system and its components...
And that flywheel...had a 911 clutch disc installed back in 1997~ and that same clutch disc looks new now. Mechanic is pretty sure it will mic out as such, so we'll be using it in my six conversion. So I suspect (though cannot guarantee) that the flywheel is in great shape too.
Would be great to see this engine leave my garage and power someone else's 914 down the road—or serve as the basis for a hot rod Type IV (my original plan).

Price drop to $900, would be great to see this go to a 914world member...
Price drop to $750.
I'd love to give someone the chance to plug it in before it sits too many more weeks!
pete
you'll get my PM.
For $750.00 sounds like a great deal, look at the Flywheel closely...this engine has been well cared for.
If I was not on a SIX project I would buy it!!!

Our eyes are on your motor, Pete.
How much oil does it leak? And where are the leak coming from?
Are the exhaust studs in good condition?
What was the average MPG when the speedo/odo meter was still working?
Look forward to hearing from you for the above.
Thanks,
kkid
Do you need any parts that you would take as a partial trade?
I'm local in San Jose area.
I see I've missed a few posts here. Sorry, have been on the road a lot lately.
Engine is still there, just like it was, plus a very light dusting of sawdust (sorry!).
To answer your questions: Leaks pretty good (park it in the driveway after it's warm and it will definitely leave a drop). Leave it for weeks and you should have a pan under it. I'll give you my pan, gratis. But I suspect now would be a great time to chase some of those down.
Again, this has been a solid runner for me. It may be dirty. It may be tired. But it's all there, it runs, and it ALWAYS started easily in my car, even when it had sat for a while. The factory FI is complete and works well. No misses, no driveability issues. May run a bit rich from time to time (I sometimes caught a whiff when slowing down for a stop sign). But it sure ran nice. When I see the prices for some 914 engine parts ($140-150 for engine tins that are not as nice), I have to think this is a pretty good buy for someone as a temp runner (maybe more) or a great core to rebuild into something hotter.
As to comment above, sure enough, I don't like to abuse my stuff. I warm an engine's OIL up before I get on the throttle, and clutches last me 150,000+ miles (actually, I've never replaced one that I started). The clutch disc that came off this engine was installed in the late 1990s and is going into my six conversion. Still looks new.
Phew. Sorry for the book. So, who wants this thing and that nice plastic pallet it's sitting on?

Getting to the point where curiosity may have me start pulling this engine apart to see what it looks like inside. And I am curious.
And that would be a pity for someone who could use a runner...
pete
If I was 2500 miles closer I would have taken it already.
This was a good deal at $1000 and an excellent deal at $750.
Just shipped a motor across the country for <$350. FYI
Bump...
Engine still sitting here, looking for a good home.
Getting to the point I am going to take it apart for the sake of curiosity and start parting it out. That's a pity if someone could use a runner or a truly complete starting point...
Anyone?

So I've been pretty busy and have not been an active seller, but...this engine is still sitting in my garage.
If someone would like a complete, working injection system—i.e., not a bunch of parts in a box from a carb conversion—that they can take off the engine themselves, I am open to offers. After that, I'll part the engine out—or take it to EASY and give it to Jim. Amazed how hard it is to sell this...
Thanks!
pete
