Well today was interesting.
The begining:
I got a 2.7 from a '74 targa for free from a friend. Yup, a free engine. I looked at this engine that had loose head nuts and subsequent exhaust leaks and figured that it would need some work. It couldn't cost that much, right? I mean, the engine was free. So the heads needed t be worked, the barrels needed to be re worked, and I figured that I would just rebuild it my self. During the school semester. In my free time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Ok, so it didn't work out that way. I was fortunate, however, to live near a wonderful shop that is very inexpensive. The owner himself finished assembly of my engine (I dropped off a box of parts and an assembled long block with two pulled studs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ). He is only gonna charge me for the time it took him. He did it on his free time and he will likely cut me a large break on the cost. I dropped off the engine when they were moving shops and I told him not to rush as I was in no hurry. Well today I stopped by and was expecting him to have been too busy. Nope, he pulled the cover off of it and was like, "walla." Now I am excited, and sad. the bill will be calculated by Wed (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
I never thought that I would build a real Porsche /6 because of the cost. this is so overwhelming. I'm gonna need a bunch of encourgement on this one. I hear a sucking sound in my wallet.



Anyone need interior pieces restored? Gotta fund the project somehow.
