$5311 US dollars. It's in the ballpark.

But it's a complex machine. How do you vet one of these?

Your buying a core but you still should know enough about the engine to know what you're buying or have someone along who does. It's on the pricey side though.

With carbs that are worth something as well. Not sure if they are webers from picture but looks like they are.

Serial #6405080. That number sounds familiar. Someone looking for this?

Not sure, but this came up after a quick forum search.

Still looking for 6404962. Existing engine is 6404512.

Those are Zenith carbs........ so the package isn't so hot...what else is goofy ?
It is a 6 engine though.
A 914 6 engine is important only to the owner of the car it was delivered in.

Mark is right,pricey and it has been pulled apart that makes it worth less ,you just never know what bits are missing,been burnt by this before .
The amount of corrosion on the case is a worry also.
