There is but at the same time, it’s not an easy service to provide.
Parts are hard to get and labor to do it right isn’t cheap. There is a much bigger market to build 911 engines and the owners tend to have deeper pockets.

It’s very similar to restoring a chassis. Metalwork and paint all cost the same for materials and labor but easier to justify on a $200k car (911) vs 50k (914).

Eric at PMB is putting out some top level cars both four and six. I would ask him about his engine services.

I'll second Eric. We talked about what I wanted in my motor, what my expectations were and of course, budget. He found a good fit for all of those. Mine happens to be a six but I know he could do the same for a four. The days of $5k engines are gone and rightfully so. The parts and the knowledge to build them right have gone up like everything else. I signed up with him and communication has been fantastic and I have no concerns that the final product won't be exactly what I want and what he said he would build.
