I have a friend with a 200k mile 2.7 motor with the complete CIS system intact. The motor ran when it was pulled and its been properly stored. I know of all the pitfalls of the 2.7 sixes and I have a machinist friend who specializes in Porsche motors that's willing to help me rebuild and update the motor (tensioners, helicoil studs, etc) for next to nothing. Thinking it might be a good way to break into the six world.

Soooo, any idea of what that motor, in its current shape is worth? He had no idea and is pretty much letting me set the price.

Thanks!

I have no illusions that this would be anything but a full rebuild, from line boring the case to helicoiling the head studs, going with carrera tensioners, etc etc etc. The "ran when parked" (around 10 years ago) was only put out there to say that this motor didn't grenade at any point and should make a good core to start with. This is one of my best friends who is selling the motor and he's a no bullshit sort of guy.

I've never feared starting with a pile of parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
