@SirAndy .... Man, that is so so so close. I would be tempted to try to buy that case just so you at least have an almost spot-on case and at least it is the period correct 914-6 case.

I have a '71 914-6 case that is about 20 numbers off my original case just to have a correct 914-6 '71 case in the event I ever sell the car or decide to do another engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I will caution anyone thinking about doing business with DC Auto and Rob, their idea of a rebuildable motor is different then mine. In fact the only usable part my engines came with were the cases.

When the point is to get the right case number so that you can burn into a $pendy concour$e re$to to sell your 914/6 to a big money collector for stoopit money...well, dem's the breaks...

Edit: after all, those engines were pulled from their original home for a reason: no one wanted them, most wanted to swap in a bigger engine. So it seems reasonable that they led a pretty ugly life...

Thanks for the heads-up about DC Auto and Rob. Finding trusted suppliers is always a gamble and anxiety ridden. I have been burned a couple of times while gathering parts for my car. Fortunately for me the parts I was burned on were not that expensive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Post to classifieds if you don’t want to deal with fixing them. I’m interested at the right price point that reflects need for machine work and a Total Overhaul.

Whatever you do, don’t scrap them!

Same on the plastic air cleaner assembly.

I've done well at DC, but I left with a truckload of cars.

Adam, you had a better result due to ton's of experience and inspecting in person while making the purchase. Meanwhile Glenn got a pig in a poke.

Its easier when you go and inspect the parts yourself. I've had good luck and bad luck with DC Auto. The last part i bought was a 911 front suspension bottom cover. It was rusted and banged up pretty bad. I threw it away and bought a new one for not much more money.
Also beware of LA Dismantler. I bought a motor from them and as soon as I got it home I did a leak down test and 3 of the 6 cylinders were really bad. They said I was not a "real" shop, so too bad. By the time I could get into a real shop, the warranty was gone. I should of did a leak down before pulling the exhaust and other stuff off of it. I would also recommend getting the warranty in writing and make them do a leak down in front of you.
