This doesn't happen every day. Looks legit to me. GLWS

Interesting.
H beam rods- manufacturer to be determined?
Camshaft- Custom. Does it come with a cam card?
Lifters - RAT?
Cylinders , Cast Iron - OE, bored?
Am I reading that right (getting a crick in my neck) 150HP, 170TQ ? YA!!

Posted by: 98101 Mar 21 2018, 12:55 AM

Wow!

Posted by: JmuRiz Mar 21 2018, 07:10 AM

Looks like 168.3 HP, 153.4 TQ

That would sure scoot a 914! A lot cheaper than a /6 conversion that's for sure!

Posted by: Mblizzard Mar 21 2018, 07:27 AM

Lets see if I took all of the receipts for the money I spent on my car I am not sure it would total up to that. Would be tough to convince the Insurance company that the engine was worth more than the car!

But Would love to "have" to convince them.

Posted by: mepstein Mar 21 2018, 08:03 AM

That’s what the engine paperwork/receipt is for.

Posted by: brownaar Mar 21 2018, 08:07 AM

Pics of the motor?

Posted by: ValcoOscar Mar 21 2018, 08:38 AM

Here are two 2.3 twin plug engines Jake built for me over 15 years ago.

NOT THE ENGINE FOR SALE...ONLY REF MAT'L

Still in box?

That's an expensive box for sure!

Posted by: michael7810 Mar 21 2018, 09:13 AM

When was it built?

Posted by: burton73 Mar 21 2018, 01:39 PM

You would need the right ins company!

Posted by: burton73 Mar 21 2018, 01:50 PM

Is this what we are looking at?

The 70 barn find I got last year?

Posted by: Boomingbeetle Mar 21 2018, 10:54 PM

I found one in LA area last year and jumped on it. It was built in 2013 and never uncrated. The person who commissioned it for a 912 fell onto hard times and liquidated all his Porsche items. He was not able to find much in the way of papers, just his original estimate before he upgraded some things. Unfortunately I don’t havy the dyno sheet, but when I called Raby’s shop they told me that engine number was a 2430cc when I thought I was buying a 2270! Darn

Here’s a couple of pics

Nice motors ... I'd use the CSP bell crank throttle linkage though.

Posted by: Mblizzard Mar 22 2018, 11:15 AM

LOVE the CSP but it is had to second guess the Tangerine Racing set up. When I had my carbs it was flawless!

Posted by: 87m491 Mar 22 2018, 02:44 PM

Not too hard, that's what stated value is for!

Posted by: thelogo Mar 22 2018, 04:55 PM

O its very tempting
But ill stick with 13. 1k dollars a night hookers instead

I would assume this motor has nikkies which is pretty sexy too
But see above comment .

Posted by: Mueller Mar 23 2018, 08:17 AM

The motor for sale in this thread , the 2270cc has cast iron cylinders...price would be way higher with nickies.

Posted by: thelogo Mar 23 2018, 08:29 AM

Way higher then 13k . Are you for real

I thought all raby motors had nikkis . Is this a raby build motor etc

Or just a raby inspired build ?

Posted by: mepstein Mar 23 2018, 08:31 AM

Raby motors used to start around $12-13k. Nickies were extra. Now his builds start around $20k with nickies.

Posted by: Mueller Mar 23 2018, 08:37 AM

Cannot find the pricing right now, at least $2K to $3K more.

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 11:15 AM

Sorry for the delay. Here are a few photos of the actual engine. Happy to show it to anyone who wants to stop by. Make me an offer.

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 11:16 AM

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 11:18 AM

Sorry photos aren't better.

Someone asked if it's Raby built or Raby inspired. It's Raby built with COA, owner's manual. dyno testing at aircooled technologies, and receipts. Not the prettiest motor, but it could easily be set up anyway you want. I have a DTM Jake Raby shroud in my garage too, or you could do 911 style upright cooling. Or paint/powder coat to match car. Up to you. It's what's inside that counts.

Posted by: mepstein Apr 5 2018, 11:58 AM

I'm shocked this hasn't sold yet.

I note that the printing on the tags is from the same person that did the printing on the other person (Boomingbeaetle) Raby Engine shown with paper card tags, why do you think that the nuts holding the carburetors are not on? Also see the spring on top of one of the air filter.

Just thinking. Thanks,

Bob B

Posted by: Craigers17 Apr 5 2018, 01:43 PM

So the paperwork you have is a little blurry, or maybe it's just my eyes, so I wondered if you have a "build date" on the engine? Also, was it built for you or did you acquire the engine from someone else?

Thanks.

Posted by: zig-n-zag Apr 5 2018, 02:35 PM

78 stroke with 96 bore works out to 2258cc and Jake uses a gold-foiled seal...

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 02:50 PM

This motor was built for a 914 from a 914 Porsche core motor. Life caught up with the PO and he never finished the project so I bought it 2 years ago and test fit it in my '65 3 gauge 912 (exactly as is with stock 914 cooling. It fit fine, just like a 912e, but ultimately I went with a 2.6 lt FAT Performance with 911 cooling (see photo). My restorer may have loosened the cards to dry fit the motor in the 912. We removed the motor and put in the 2.6 and I was contemplating putting the 2270 in a 356 (I own 4 at the moment that are all being restored... one at a time), I would need to convert it to a vintage type iv upright look (see photo) and decided that I didn't want to start taking apart something that Jake built and tuned for a 914, so I listed it here. I am currently having 2 relatively stock/tame 914 1.8 (built to 2.0) transformed into the vintage look to go in two of the 356 cars. So that's my story. Like I said, if your nearby and want to see the motor I'm happy to show it to you. Oh, I'll check on the build date next time I'm at the shop.

2258? Gold foil seal? Just do a web search for raby 2270 and you'll see it's his favorite build and listed on his website right now... aircooled technologies.

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 02:56 PM

Zig-n-zag (aka 2258 gold foil guy). Are you in Hawaii right now? Do you have the Raby motor that's listed on the Samba for $20,000? Did you factor in deck height when you did your math for 2258?

Posted by: euro911 Apr 5 2018, 03:11 PM

It states 2270 on Jake's documentation in post# 6

Damn! Super tempting and local, not sure my wife would understand

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 03:52 PM

Mike R. a.k.a. "skybolt", please send me a PM

Posted by: zandstra Apr 5 2018, 03:56 PM

I know several of you have seen this on thesamba and elsewhere for $11,995. I'd rather sell it here., but am open to suggestions/offers. Thanks

Posted by: Jake Raby Apr 8 2018, 10:33 AM

The engine is my 2,270cc. l use a 78.4mm crank, which achieves the additional displacement above 2,258cc.

Posted by: zandstra Apr 9 2018, 01:03 PM

Thanks Jake. I appreciate the confirmation.

Posted by: BENBRO02 Apr 9 2018, 06:38 PM

Straight from the guru's mouth.

Posted by: burton73 Apr 10 2018, 10:28 AM

Mark,

The link is not right for me, or it it takes me to the wrong place. Thinking of this engine for my 70 car.

Posted by: Boomingbeetle Apr 10 2018, 06:03 PM

Bob,

If you need convincing, I'd be happy to take you for a ride in my Raby-powered 914 but it's in the shop this week for clutch tube repair. Zandstra would owe me a beer for the sales commission though! Hell, I might buy this just to have a spare...

Posted by: euro911 Apr 11 2018, 03:28 AM

Not sure what happened with that link, Bob ... I meant to post a link back to post #6 in the thread that showed the what motor's displacement was.

Posted by: 2mAn Apr 11 2018, 10:50 PM

I need a ride!... because Im thinking BAD thoughts right now... this happens everytime I come here.

Where in SoCal are you?

-Simon

Posted by: Boomingbeetle Apr 11 2018, 11:14 PM

I’m in Orange County (Laguna Niguel) but most of the time the car is in Fontana. It’s here in OC with me this week though. PM me, I’d be happy to take you for a spin.

Posted by: zandstra Apr 12 2018, 12:38 PM

Thanks for all the interest and offers. Motor is sold awaiting payment. I'll update as soon as payment clear.
