I'm considering replacing my engine with a subaru 220hp. Mine runs good except for that idle deal that I posted about earlier today. I want to sell the original engine. It has about 83K miles on it.

Not much.. it's considered a core.

$450-650 depending on condition.
IF its got a recent rebuild thats documented more.....

I think that's low. IMO, a complete, good running engine with good compression should go for $1000-1500. I'm talking full engine/drop in for someone. Sell while it is in a running driving car.

Just off the top of my head you could part it out and get around $1200:

heads $300
case/crank/rods $250
complete FI with good MPS $300
2L tin $100
core P&Cs $75
flywheel $50
alternator $40
2L HEs $50
unbroken fan $50

Ummmm... I have seen way low mile 2.0s for less than 1500 right here in the classifieds, from people we know well, like Scott.

I have all documentation on it since I bought it about 8 years ago. My mechanic was a 914 racer for quite a while and only works on German cars here in Vancouver. I had a neighbor a few years back wanting the engine for a sand rail. He said they really like the type IV for quikness. I "think" he said they paid about 1000-1200 for a decent one and they would soup them up but it's been a while.

Thanks for the replies. If you have any idea on my idle prob, that would be helpful. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=ST&f=2&t=17268

Adjust valves, tuneup.

Thanks red but it's been tuned and the valves adjusted. The quirk of idle is the only thing I have to iron out. It runs great other than that. Old technology has a lot avariables sometimes. I wish I had the LJet. It was the better and more reliable of the 2 systems.

vacuum leak??? When was the last time hoses were replaced?

We are checking for a vacuum leak and found one and replaced the hose. Most hoses have been replaced. It's these little things that drive yas nutz.

Ya! no shitsky. Mine still idles at 12-1300 after warm. The good thing is it idles at 16-1700 when first turned on. I do know that the AAR isn't closing completely. Just found that out a day or so ago. I thought it was BUT, even tho I took it outta line the idle still doesn't go down

It's things like this that make me wanna sell it. plus the G Damn'd smoke.......... (phuk'nthangpissantsheitmeister)
whew got me outta breath on dat one
