The 914-6 sold and I've got this left. . the Estate authorized a $5K drop to a lower price/ / NOW $14,750

SOLD SOLD SOLD. . GOING TO A NEW HOME IN A 911




I just removed this motor from a 914-6 in which I reinstalled its original motor. . It has less than 800 miles on it after a professional shop rebuild. This is a proper 1970 2.2 S motor. . All the engine work was done by Mark Kenninger / Black Forest San Diego whose personal 911SC took TTOD at the Parade. This is another of his exceptionally fine running motors.

The list of work includes magnafluxed crank, resurface of case halves and a line bore. New case savers installed. Has new S cams using 1975 Carrara 36 mm big port heads.
This motor is set up for Webbers. It now has pressure fed tensioners, and a full valve job with all new valve guides and seals. All rods rebuilt and balanced, all bearings new including #8. Everything you'd expect to be renewed was done.
Sold as pictured with correct S distributor and matched port carburetor manifolds.

$19750 Now $14,750 San Diego

Wasn't that the engine that was flogged at the track? I thought I read that someplace. 20k for a small displacement engine with no carbs? any warrantee? You know what you can get for 20k? Maybe I'm missing something here. Is it like uniting a numbers matching engine to the car? Is that where the value is?

No . not 'flogged' at a track. . this is a 700 mile true S motor. I just removed it from a Six when I put the original motor back in the car.. . I have the shop build paperwork for a little over $13K for the rebuild. . It's basically a new motor. that's is actually in the going price range for a real S motor these days. . $40K plus for a complete S motor on the Early S Registry is pretty regular. . and yes it is listed there also. .

As noted by toolguy, true S cases / motors have r
dramatically risen - especially when all Internals are " S "
One case that has risen is sky-high is the 76 - 930 case.
I see asking / market price points from 17k up.

Wish I could afford buy this engine from you Toolguy especially after seeing it and now knowing the history.
Good luck!

That is a great engine for a 914. Start pricing these out and this price is fair.

I'm curious....I know the output of the stock -6 911T but what's the estimated output of a 2.2 S?

Posted by: toolguy Apr 9 2016, 09:07 AM

1970 was the first year for the 2.2 liter motor. . The factory rated the 2.2S at 180/200 hp in their advertisements. .

It was running well when I removed from the car a couple of months ago. It is complete except for a few items I had to remove; mainly the oil cooler, alternator/ fan, carbs and the thermostat whihch I needed for the original Six motor.

What can you get for $20k Rick?

Posted by: 396 Apr 9 2016, 10:26 AM

True "S" motors like this one are escalating in value.
Especially for the long hood crowd.

I guess my point is if your doing a conversion why would you want a small displacement engine for 20k when you can get so much more for the money.

But as long as you asked...

2.4S R7 case asking 9,900.00

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-engine-2-4-liter-real-1973-911S-rebuilt-Long-Block-rare-motor-/171820810105?hash=item2801517f79:g:am4AAOSwg3FUkwAI&vxp=mtr

Small displacement 69 2.0 S spec fresh $ 9,900.00

Ok, that's two engines for the price of one

Here's a complete 2.7S spec with CIS. $ 7,000.00

My second point is there have been engines posted on the early 911 registry for "the moon prices." In fact I know of one that was listed there after guy's commented on the engine being worth sooo much money and in demand.

The only response to the ad was from some low baller early 911 guys. Maybe trying to get it for the real price. The guy ended up just using the engine. The price may be good if you can reunite the engine with the car.

You asked.

You left out the small print from that ad. .
Don't miss out on this great engine, core charge $4500 is to be added to the price ,

That would make it a $14,400 motor plus crating and shipping, wouldn't it..
This one includes the real S distributor, intake manifolds, shroud, and pressure tensioners,
and I'm open to reasonable offers to boot. . they really are not that far apart on price.

Posted by: toolguy Apr 23 2016, 08:23 PM

Bump for Price Drop. .
Drop to $14,750 to make it move. [/color].
see ad. .

This is a really killer price. It was fair before, but now it is outrageously a great bargain in today's marketplace.

Lower valve covers are drilled for twin plug.
Are the heads twin plugged?

Posted by: toolguy Apr 28 2016, 12:10 AM

no not twin plug heads. . , these were to lower covers on it. . I don't know the reason. .

Posted by: BK911 Apr 29 2016, 09:03 AM

For reference:
I sold an unknown 2.2S engine long block for $10k about a year ago.
No intake or exhaust.

Hello, I am interested in this engine for my 911 2.2S Targa restoration project which now actually has a 2.0 914/6 engine installed.
How to get in touch with you? Tried to PM but seems not working.

Or a bullet-proof Chevy LS motor plus a nice set of BBS three-piece wheels with new sticky rubber. you asked
