I am considering doing my own rebuild and repair on the 3.0. I am trying to build my confidence by reading the Wayne Dempsy rebuild book, What do you guys think, should I, could I, will I, or wont I, can I, or cant I, good idea, bad idea.
My other thought is to start looking for a good used 3.0 or turbo engine and play around with the other one until I feel I have a good grip on the rebuild.

If you do the engine you wont be driving it for a long time(you do art work). If you put a motor in and drive it you can do a nice motor and enjoy the car also. Can you adapt an SC motor to your plumbing?

if you can convince yourself to buy the proper tools and not try to cobble stuff, and if you can be patient and think things through, you can do it.
Jerry Woods has rebuilt 935 engines sitting on a milk crate in the paddock - but he's done a few :-)... IMO - if you can afford the time & money, it's worth it to attend the Anderson/Woods engine rebuild class in Los Gatos. you should have Anderson's book - and read it too - before trying it. Wayne's book is good, but it's really just about that one engine, with some hand-waving on the stuff that's different through the years. (e.g. - Wayne's world starts with mag case engines. if you have an aluminum 2,0 the world looks a little different...) Bruce's book covers more variations. a 911 engine is just an engine and not rocket science, but it does require precision and care. |

My engine is an sc engine so it would be a straight up swap. All I need is a long block and Im good to go.
Theres one on Ebay but my funds are limited right now... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) |
