soooo, i got a line on a '76 2.7L /6 motor build by "The Stable" ...

don't know all the details but it's fairly recently rebuild by said shop and comes with the CIS injection. complete and running ...

does ~$2k sound like a fair price or not?

That and another $4k might get it installed. I have no idea what would cost that much, it just will. "Correct" oil tank, exhaust, other stuff.

PS - don't listen to me, remember which of us has a running 914 right now

There are issues with a 2.7 on the head studs or something. I'm not too clear on the problem, but someone will chime in.

I guess just check what was done on the last rebuild (case savers, etc.)

there is one on eBay right now, guy wants approx. 5K for it
(supposedly fresh, 0 miles)

$2K for fresh runner and done right sounds like a good deal....I've seen core 2.7's go for $1000+

76 has a bigger oil pump,and bypass mod in the case 76-77 are the better years. If you choose to use the cis it has a improved warm up circut also.
Make sure part of the rebuild was timeserts or casesavers for head studs.
The best part its been run and you can see if it leaks.
If you can, take the sump plate and screen off run youre finger around the inside of the case and see what kind of particles if any you come up with. You would be suprised at how many good runners are losing rod bearings.

If you trust the shop its a great deal.

The one on ebay is a 74

Hi Andy,

If it's running good or freshly rebuilt I think it's a good price. As you know, I'm a 2.7 guy...our car that Doris and I ran was a 2.7. I'd still be running it if I hadn't nuked the motor with the missed shift.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

There are documented problems with the 2.7, but if they were addressed with a motor upgrade/rebuild, they are great engines...I personally loved the motor in our car...it was great for auto-x and a TON of fun on the track...

Just my $9.14... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

with everyone wanting 3.2 and 3.6 people are not realizing how much Fun these smaller motors are 2.0,2.2,2.4,2.7-6 they are lighter, plenty of power, And sound great.

8 main bearings , they are the shizzle ( I think that right ill ask my 17yr old)

my favorite is the 2.4 MFI -6

Four is nice but Six is the best (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I'm probably going to go with a 2.7 in my street car when the time comes. I already have the engine in another car...

$2k for a recently rebuilt engine? Something is WRONG!

It would be a hell of a deal. Jump on it if it is for real.

My only big ticket items after the engine are: Oil tank, Flywheel-Pressure Plate-clutch, Exhaust, and plumbing.

I fabricate most everything else.

Yeah, a better question would be "what's a good running 2.7L
CIS motor worth?" I'd say....humm, bout 2k. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Byer Beware for sure , but at least around here with everyone going to 3.0-3.2-3.6 the demand for these motors is not that great. A shop in seattle wont touch a 2.7 used to give em away.
They figure 2k and got there floor space back.

The motor on ebay 2 weeks ago had a buy it now 5200. and had 0 bids , now that a bunch of 914 owners finally notice it , its a stampede.
Also a factor a bunch go to the track (WCC) and realize how great sixes are , and gets the fever going.
I could be wrong (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I bought a rebuilt 76, 2.7L long block that had sat on a shelf for 9-10 years for 500 bucks. It had RS P/Cs....nice surprise
Sold the pistons for 500 & the CIS cams for 100. Now that's a guuud deal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hotted the thing up a bit & stuck it in my car....parted out the 2.4L T long block for bout 1100....that got me some new Shasta pistons & NOS Solex cams. Ya gotta jump on opportunities.
