I have a line on a 2.0 six 65 alum block. What is it worth complete minus carbs and if any problems with this paticular type engine? Also they have a 84 924 motor. opinions welcomed

Some people like the very early blocks because the aluminum is much stronger than the magnesium blocks that followed. Eventually, the factory went back to aluminum when the power output exceeded the capabilites of the mag blocks.

Early Alum case=good
probably has a c/w crank, the 2.0 heads are a little wanting, but they can be massaged. Dont have a clue of a fair price.. I did see an Alum case go on ebay for 350 awhile back. |

I sold a sand cast long block minus exhaust and carbs for $900 almost 10 years ago.
Very desirable short stroke starting block. You'll need to bush the layshaft and put squirters in if you plan on any high hp applications. Early sandcast aluminum blocks go for bigger bucks in the 911 circles (www.early911sregistry.org). If you "don't" plan on spending a bunch of bucks building a short stroke (layshaft, squirters, spigot bore for larger P&C's, P&C's and lots of headwork), it's probably best to spend that kind of dough on a nice 3.0 SC long block. Killer block though. If you can get it at the right price you can resell it on that other board. My $0.02 |

I agree with Eric,
Some one looking for a "matching numbers" case or engine is most likely willing to pay a premium for this |

Also the early sand cast aluminum cases cant be upgraded to the late style pressure fed hydraulic tensioners easily. I believe you need to get new chain housing and possibly cam towers..
But the early chain tesnioners worked well in thousands of engines!! you could just get the collars that prevent tensioner collapse |
