I'm supposed to go look at an engine that "..did run at one time, at this point I could only guarantee it turns." I'm basically buying to learn how to rebuild (over the next year or two) and to have a fun project with my son.

If $350 about right, or too much?

Thanks

Cool working with your son on your 914.

About the price, it depends what you get with the engine. I can only give a couple of data points on some engine transactions I recently went through.

I bought a "running when pulled" 2L engine last year for $850. What I got with the engine was dual Weber 44's with all linkage and intake runners, distributor with Pertronix, coil and wires, and all tin. After pulling the heads, cleaning and checking the engine, I got the engine running and is now in the car. BTW, the engine has 96mm P&C so is punched out to 2056cc.

I sold the 1.8L that was in my car for $600. The engine was running DJET FI, had Pertronix, all intake pieces, all tin, SSHE, and a stock muffler.

YMMV
