Here is the deal.
I have several motors that I could build. I am working on quite a few 356's now. I would like to figure out if I could make a few bucks by building, testing, (leak down and compression, no dyno) and selling these motors complete. If the value is there, I will do it. Otherwise I will sell each item on ebay. I am testing the waters here. Rich |

My humble opinion follows:
As described with no upgrades, I would not spend more than the lowest poll option of 1-2k. As described and w/2.0 heads, cylinders, crank, rods. etc... I would pay than the equivalent motor built with 1.7 or 1.8 parts because the parts are worth more. Adding options would also obviously raise that price. Basically it boils down to this. The used and new parts have a certain value. You obviously don't want to give them away. Your time and expertise are worth a certain value as well. I can figure out what the parts are worth and I personally would be happy to pay for the expertise of someone like yourself to correctly assemble a 914 engine. That's basically the unknown here. What's your time and expertise worth Rich? It's not really possible to watch F1 and write this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
