Does anyone in the SoCal area somewhat close to Laguna Beach (100+/- miles or a nice drive of 200 miles each way) have a 911 worthy engine stand with wheels or with the ability for me to add them / for sale or rent or rent to own?
I'm now committed or to be committed for settling on a 100K running 82SC with fan, alt., coil, distributer, wires and harness.. + a few tim bits - oh, and new clutch and flywheel.......... I had to spend a whoppin' four digit figure to get this bundle from a local SoCal Porsche dealer that I have been dealing with since the late 70's on my 356 rebuilds and he was more than honorable in the delivery of a 100K running engine needing a "refreshing"....... UhOh. At best, I have a core that is described as needing a freshening up including the parts described above to launch me into the tranche. Tranche you say? (my on-order plate for the 914...) ..... French word - i'm from Louisiana.. but the word is Parisian French, not coonass French which we grew up speakin - In Parisian French, it means ..A little bit of a lot of things, especially Money... is that NOT what this undertaking is all about... I'm gonna need some help / starting with the engine stand.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)

And having done a little research on 911 conversion costs ahead:..........
We have a fully paid off house in Scottsdale that I am willing to sell immediately ... outright or may be willing to trade for the conversion costs. Patrick seems like a possible trade partner as they are local tp Scottsdale ... .... similar costs similar value (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ...... It is a 3br, 2b on large lot built as a walled compound with gated access to rear yard work area, spa and rec zone.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) |

Nah, without a functioning wife to go with the house, it's sort of like a donor car with no motor.
Good luck with the project, it's a long a fun road. |

Too old and too lazy to buy a second home without an installed wife, the conversion costs would be far to much and the slippery slope too steep.
