Hi guys. Sorry to post off topic but I have a short time frame to make a descison on a purchase and hope someone out there knows the 356 market better than I do,
I am restoring a 60 356 cab barn find. The original number case engine was apart in baskets. It is at the engine builder, but I need a lot of items (starter, generator, some tin etc) to ultimately put it back together.He also works like a snail. I ran across a nice running COMPLETE engine, from aircleaner to clutch with complete exhaust and muffler. I could plug in and go. I could finish the correct engine whenever and put it on the shelf. It is only a normal and not the correct year for my car but it would be minimal hassle to get to DRIVE it.. Is this worth 4k? |

That's a little steep UNLESS it has a reputable rebuild behind it. Decent running not so recent rebuilt engines CAN be found for $1500.00 if you look a little. Ask on the 356 registry as well (place a wanted ad)
