Again, looking at parts for a car I don't even own!
Anyway.... I knew about the 3.2 VW based VR6 15° motor, years ago before I abandoned all things 914 I was in the process of fitting one into my 914, the back of the motor is super tall since that is where the timing chain and gears are for the cams, it required cutting into the rear trunk....I didn't care for that all that much. (Cayenne or SUV motor) So today I stumbled upon the Porsche 90° V6 which according to what I've read is more or less their new V8 engine sans 2 cylinders! As of now it only comes in the base Panamera(?) For the life of me I cannot find a used motor for sale just to get a base price on them...tons of the V8 models out there and surprisingly not that expensive....of course $5K is ton of money for a used motor but still about half of what I see some older air-cooled sixes going for. |

Just buy an old 2.7 /6, got mine for $2k, snagged some carbs for 1200 (of keep the CIS for free), ~500 for a real /6 cooler. No need for water radiator plumbing.
Sure you'll need a flywheel and engine mount, but you'll need that with the v6 too. |
