$15K Canadian works out to about $11,200 USD Ouch as when I was on the hunt 10 years ago that was a $4K Canadian engine, but it is what it is. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/canada/1073...-3-0l-sale.html |

The only better deal I have seen recently on engines was the 3.2 that sold earlier this week. It was complete and had a recent top end rebuild with only 30 supposed hours. I think it was priced at 12.5 on the bird as a complete. Can't beat healthy numbers. The 3.0 I got ~2yrs ago ( from mepstein) is still running strong and I paid 10.5 for it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I'm not a fan of mag. wheels, engine cases, oil consoles, etc. No matter what you do, it doesn't improve with time. The only mag piece that doesn't seem to have major issues are transmission cases, though the one on my car is pretty deeply pitted. Steve/Shoguneagle was nice enough to sell me his running 3.2 so I do take my own advice - sometimes. I want to learn how to build engines and the shop owner has been getting instruction from Peter Dawe. I want to learn how to do it right and he's one of the best. |

You are right Magnesium is continiously degrading, its a pretty unstable metal. I thought long and hard about my engine choice. 3.0L is a very nice way to go since it avoids Mag. I'm not a fan of the 2.7L - that was esentially Porsche learning the limits of magnesium. Therefore I back up to the 2.4L 7R case as my "ideal" mostly for weight reasons and becuase I'm not intereseted in chasing big HP numbers. I also wanted somthing the same vintage as my chassis. Again the 73' 2.4L fits the bill perfectly. I say rock on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Like you this will be my first 911 engine build. All I can say at this point is what a Rube Goldberg contraption. So many parts and so many fasteners.
