I bought a rebuilt (9 years previously then sat on a shelf) long block with some minor missing bits for 500 bucks.
Rebuilt it about 3600. Ran the hell out of it for 7 years, then rebuilt it again (with NOS RSR PCs) for another 3500 bucks...inflation?). Anyone putting big bucks into a 7R case is a ......er...not very smart. Decent cases are readly available for 400 bucks. Locally, case savers for the head studs will run a couple hunderd bucks installed. All this entailed doing the work myself. If you're a checkbook mechanic, any 911 motor is VERY pricey to have built.....the labor alone can be around 8K plus you'll pay full retail for bits.....bend over. BTW, I sold all my "special tools" (& some not so special) needed to work on the motors for about 1200 bucks. A good investment, me thinks. The motor ran great when it was sold ( 205hp/tq at the wheels) I hear the fella that bought it has made some "improvements"...swapped carbs & ignition....the 2 things I told him to leave alone.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The 76 & later have the oiling mods/later oil pump which will save you some machining bucks.
