QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Nov 9 2006, 12:50 PM)  OK.. for $800 I'll throw new rod bearings and mains in it..LOL 8k is a lot of cha-ching for a small engine that hasnt been made since 1974!! A used 3.6 with 40k miles on it sells for 8k with late model injection He is a great sales person!! Ask him how much he wants for the business. I know he had it for sale several times. NO BS.. have you actually driven a 2.4/3.0/3.2/3.6 car? I dont mean "talked about it" or "saw one once"? Not trying to bust your ass. We chatted about this at dinner that night. Bottom line: he has an engine that he cant sell and he *found* you. It runs almost 10k to rebuild any of these engines.. so start with a larger one.. that way you have no room to look back and say "should have...." B My first porshe was a 1966 911 (w/a S motor) 2.4, loved the way it drove, loved the way it lugged around.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was at the diner we had in coranodo mex. rest. if you were one of the guys, yeah I met ya.. fun stuff... Yes it is a 1974 2.4S completly rebuild to his spec's, which are high standards selling it to me for $8,000 out the door installed.. I thought that was hot, I rebuilt my 1966 in 1975 for $6,000 at Dieter's.. I will not look back, cause the larger ones cost more for car alterations to take the more HP they provide, I am satisfied with the small eng. performace and handling.. Yes, he still is selling, talks about it all the time, you should see his massive enventory of used parts he has around, stacks on stacks of all kinda stuff... really is amazing.. We have become close friend, yeah he hit me hard on sales at first, he mellowed out, I helped a lot around the shop, have my welder and tool box there now, I go over and for free do the small stuff once in awhile to help him out, now he is helping back with this project... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am going to post some pic's of him and shop and his motors he has around soon... You confused me a bit, at first you said chaching a lot of money for a small motor, then referance how expensive they are to rebuild.. ? anyway hope to beat ya up in the mountains of San Diego some day with your big motor...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE late upper cylinder air deflector with early uncut cylinder baffles, interesting.......... ....and iron cylinders. And no "Carrera" tensioner upgrade Is the dizzy wrong for an "S" (has vac advance)? This, and the mystery IROC blocks, and a rumor of a 911 with a factory LSD going into Volkers for just basic maintenance and coming out with open diff somehow has echoes of PT Barnum. I know you're excited about the motor, but slow down some. Volker has a less-than-pristine reputation in some SD Porshce circles. Maybe the competition is just jealous. |

Maybe the competition is just jealous. your comments on the motor and Volkers reputation in circles, I know very little about, I am a novice, getting my 914/6 on the road, SOON I hope...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and for a reasonable fee, is all I really care about. I was simply sharing what Volker has said to me in the short time that I have met with him... he did not want any internet exposure and thinks it is a waiste of time, but while I was there today getting pic's of motor he asked if I would post his VW here and did so, as a favor for him.... and he still commented that is a waiste of time,,anyway. His IROC BLK was a intreging story I simply wanted to share and get feed back on... I never heard of such a thing, I relayed info as it occured.. Hi, I am new here trying to build a poormans convertion, nice ta meet ya all... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I am no person to speak bad about anyone, but I have used Volker for both my old bug and my 914. The price I paied there is not close to what anyone should pay. For my two cars I've had there I could have owned a boxster by now.. Just my .02 from Santee...

My deal with him is $8,000 install price, he is also rewiring it now too. I hand him headers, oil tank, front mount, tin and I am done.. I am OK with that at this point, I will let ya know how it all turns out, I will be taking pic's as the work occures,,..(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
