Friend of a friend...wants me to source an engine for him and do an R&R install.....not like it's hard....sounds like it would be fun and a challenge.
BTW the two salvage yards don't even want an exchange. Sounds like they aren't worth it to rebuild.....anyone ever do one or just tear one down to see what's up? what are new crate motors from Porsche going for? This is an automatic and basic model....any idea what the book rate for an R&R is? |

A factory refurbished boxster motor is in the 6-7k range (factory seal, warrenty, and updates). Install aint too bad if i can do it. Same as a 914, but you need to unhook those red ball cups for the lid, remove parts of the rear suspension, and feed the oil filler hose through the trunk. Just nuts and bolts.
A 996 motor is 10k installed (in a 996). That may be a fun one. Search for an X51 motor if you want the extra bling. I'm sure a 996 in a 986 has been covered to death in a non-aircooled forum somewhere on the net. |
