It looks like my Raby/Brad motor is at least a month or longer away from being done....in the mean time, my 100+ mile a day commute is killing me at $2.00 a gallon driving my truck or the 911 (that 3.6 is a thirsty sucker...)
So, I have a few options..... Dave Menche has a complete 1.8 for sale (not sure how much yet), Jon Watts has a 2.0 that needs pistons and cylinders at the minimum, I am hoping the crank and rod bearings are good and that I could just throw together the top end parts and have a runner. I forgot to ask Jon if his motor has the heads or not, so......I might need some heads as well...1.8 would work...I have some fresh rebuilt heads for my 2.0, but I'd rather save those for when Brad puts together my engine so that everything is fresh at the same time. Local preferred since shipping could be a killer........ I should be picking up my car from TC Design early next week and I plan on taking a day or two off of work to get down to business of getting the car back on the road.......

I wouldn't use 2.0 bus heads...esp. the squareport variety. but 1.8 bus heads are almost the same as 1.8L porsche heads... if not THE same...

I have a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder I pulled for my 6-cylinder conversion. Let me know if you are interested.

Shipping would be a pain for both of us....you for having to crate it, me for having to pay for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
IMHO, your 1.8 is worth more money to you back East than here in CA...... |

Dude.
You can run bus P&Cs for added displacement. You do need to get the heads flycut to accept the larger cylinders though. 2.0 heads are better than 1.8 heads are better than 1.7 heads. I don't know about bus heads though. You'll have low compression, which will be perfect for an experimental Turbo engine which we can mess with once you get your real motor :-) Fiid (Crazy). |

I finding its not worth much money anywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). It is already sitting on a pallet, ready to be shipped. I though you may be open to some type of trade... |

thanks Pat, but my definition of cheap must be different than yours...LOL
I don't have to have the car running that bad to fork over $600 for a 1.8 motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Don, i think I found one local, I'm going to go kick it and poke it with a stick to see if it'll work for me.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
