[sc42766]

hi , i have the oportunity to buy a 1970 2.2t engine , i did not see it running but i know the compression is good and from what i am told the engine was runnig good when it was in it's 911.

i am paying 2800.00$ for the engine but i still have to buy what i need to install it in my 914 .

what do you guy's think , is it a good deal ?

Just for comparison purposes, I paid $3500 for a 3.2 engine, complete with wiring harness, ECU, flywheel, etc. Complete 'plug and play' (to whatever extent that is) I did have to upgrade some things, but Huey was already a 6 conversion so not much of a cost.

No matter what engine you buy, you should assume to have a compression/leak down test done, and take the heads off to make sure it's all in one piece.

I've been lucky. I've bought a 2.5, 2.7 and the 3.2 'trusting' the seller each time, and each time it was exactly as they described.

Some quick guesstimates (if done legal like) on the shipping of your $3500 3.2, which BTW sounds a lot like a "right place at the right time" type of deal to me.

Shipping to Montreal $800
Taxes (and they will tax the shipping if that's what it's insured for) $675
Brokerage $100

So now we're at $5K+ and he still needs 3K+ to get it in the car. You can find a $5k 3.2 around here.
Of course then he'll need to stop the thing.
