Listed on there with 15K price and 123K miles thinking up there pricewise no leakdown or history,hopefully being a later motor issues may have been sorted,current trendy motor to fit in a 911 but no loom or ecu with that price....really.

Why not just build a big /4 motor?
Should be a better investment . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A friend had a 2.8 FAT in his 914 that wore out just about anything that got in his way at auto crosses culminating in an FTD at the Porsche Parade in 2008. It had as much torque as horsepower. Combined with a short gear box it was a potent combination. I reckon the 3.6 dressed is close to 500# whereas the IV is around 300#. Alois Ruf states in this video: Pick up at 5:40.

I’ve had two 200+ HP & torque Type IV motors. One blew up on me, the second blew up on the guy who bought it from me. They were well engineered, they were installed correctly. Somewhere around here there are pictures of the first one with a hole in the case top, still running with a rod flopping up and down. They don’t last. Congratulations BTW, you managed to turn this into a 6 vs: 4 debate. Pretty much rule number 3 around here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
