Looks like I've made a deal to buy a 3.2 that's currently installed in a 912e in the west LA area. I'm planning on driving down Sunday morning, should be in LA by 10:00, to start pulling the engine.
If anyone in the area would like to come by and lend a hand, or stand and laugh, send me a PM and I'll get you the address. Road trip..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Jeff |

OK, I give up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Is this an engine version of musical chairs, Jeff? First an EZ30, then a 2.7P, which if I remember correctly was just dropped off at the machinist 2 weeks ago and now a 3.2P. You my friend have contracted a form of Rustyitis. Except with you it's just engines. With Rusty it's cars. I see an intervention in the near future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) too funny. Well I did drop off my 2.7, but the machine work and just replacement parts was going to run $7k, so I would have ended up around $9k.
Decided for that kind of cash I'd rather have a 3.2, and thanks to Jamie I found one. Thanks man...(JRust). The EZ30, was for a different car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) there was a 2056 before the 2.7.... And don't forget about the loaner 2.7 that's in the car now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I just like using my lift...... And driving to LA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

You will love the 3.2. I also went from a pulled head stud 2.7 to a 3.2. The only thing I miss is the sound of the webers on the 2.7. I sold the webers and kept the DME injection.
I am happy with my decision, but still miss the sound. |

Decided for that kind of cash I'd rather have a 3.2, and thanks to Jamie I found one. Thanks man...(JRust). Yeah I kind of blew that. My buddy Tom pointed it out to me asking what I thought. I've been keeping my eyes open for a nice 6conversion with a 3.2 or 3.6. Wanted a finished car. Guess he was looking to buy the whole car to use as a donor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Jumped the gun a little pointing that out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . He was cool about it but I feel like a bit of a schmuck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . So congrats to Jeff! Tom I will find you just the right setup sometime soon. Sorry I didn't think that through better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Safely home and in the shop. Thanks Jaime, oldschool, for hanging out and helping decide if I should buy it or not. Hope your wife had a nice birthday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Safely home and in the shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) IMHO, the 3.2L is the perfect engine for a 914! They all should have had them from the factory ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
