Where are yall getting your used engines? Preferably 6 cylinders. Is there some place thats pretty trustworthy that everyone favors or is it just the luck of the draw by shopping around?.
I noticed there is alot of rebuilders but I havn't run across just a source for Engines. Preferably the stock/oem 6 or 911 engines either or. Xray |

I have been in the 911 arena a long time and candidly I have never heard of a 2.0 six from the dealer for a couple of grand. Hope it is true, but never heard of it.
That said, unless you are going vintage racing or have an original 6, why would you buy a 2.0? You can get more power from a 2056 long block from one of the vendors for a much lower total cost. Here are the guide lines most of my 911 buddies use when replacing a motor. 1.) Only buy one that is in a car so you can drive it, hear it and have a leak-down and compression test. Otherwise it is a crap shoot. 2.) Buy the cheapest long bock you can find and rebuild it. That way you know exactly what to expect. HTH |
