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! |

When I built my 2.7L (since rebuilt), I got a 500 dollar short block...missing some valve train bits. Tore it down as a rebuild had been done 9 years before then it sat on a shelf. It had RS P/Cs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). Sold the pistons for 500 bucks.....I now had a free motor. Bought 9.7:1 pistons, Solex cams, found a good deal for some Webers , & 993 studs.
When I was done I had about 6500 in it. After 7 years of flogging I rebuilt it using 10.5:1 Mahle P/Cs ....a good buy @ 2800 NOS. The rebuild then cost about 4500. Part of that was a Std/Std crank as the afore mentioned U/S bearings were outragous @ around 2K for rods & mains. Part of the BS of which I spoke is the cost of working on a 911 motor. *If you do it yourself*and do some quality shoppin', they are quite affordable. I am fortunate in having a local, competent maching shop near by....I dunno if they know how to properly pronounce Porsche tho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . If you send an engine to Jerry Woods (for instance).....well, bend over. 80 hours @ 100 bucks (fairly standard) per hour is gonna kill ya. If you send it to "sixnotfour", he'll treat you right......so would I for that matter. |
