Just got a call from a woman who said her husband had died about 1/1/2 years ago, and she found my name in his phone book for 914 parts. Can't say that I remember him, CRS strikes again.

Anyway, she says he has a 914 engine in the garage and other parts. Would I like them for FREE. Just get them out of the garage. At first she said it was a 911 engine, then not sure. Also said it was a spare that ran.

Anyway, I'm going over to look at it this afternoon. Right now, I'm going to assume that it's probably a 4. If it's a 6, then the problems start, because I'm gonna want to keep it, and the only place I have to store it,is the Kitchen, lol, coffee table?

I'll take my camera and post some pictures when I get back.

If it's a 4, who needs a spare? The price will remain as FREE. If it's a 6 and I come to my sences, it might go for FREE too.

Talk to you later, Don

Calling you now....

Why can't I live in CA?

Has anyone recently shipped an engine across country? How much does that cost?

fully dressed - LTL - prolly about $300.............can check if you really want to know.

Aaron, Mike stay away........I've got plenty of room to store it, plus all the other parts

I guess I'm 5th or 6th in line. But I'm local, have a truck, and plenty of space.

Hey Cloud,
I didn't notice that you lived in SD. Didn't you tell me that you had some interior core pieces? I am in the market if you do.

Don and I are gonna take a look at it around 12.

Desparation = Desperation USE YOUR SPELL CHECKER

Let us know what other parts you find, free is in my price range Dibs on any LSD/TBDs or 930 transaxles that remain free or close to it!

After Big Don and I pic the spoils clean you I am sure you all will be welcomed to all of the pieces that you already have multiples of. I am so lucky that I have today off and Don lives three blocks from me. Too bad his camera is crapping out and mine sucks. It is soo nice to have time to do 914 stuff again.

Ron,

If there is a good set of 2.0L heat exchangers, I want 'em

Among the score was the exact engine that you just describe, Aaron. You may come down and pick it up now.

Brando, do you still need a rear caliper? I have one with a few rebuild kits...

More to come.

is it down by your place mike? if so..ill stop by...show you something

I need 2 rear caliper brake rebuild kits.

Aaron,
It is infront of my house in the back of my 4-runner right now. Don is gonna come over later and help me move it into the back yard. When can you come and get it?

sorry for the hi-jack...

I need a couple of kits too and I'm not trying to get mikes.. but just wanted to ask..

wasn't someone selling nice rear kits in the resource section? I looked and couldn't find them.

brant

heh, I wish I was to the point of knowing if I need rear caliper rebuild kits

(still waiting in vulture mode for more of the inventory list)

I changed it, I actually meant Brando. I will get a list soon.

Hehe, I didn't even think it meant me.. I was just generally wishing I knew if I needed one, because I am not going to try and acquire free items that I only MAY need if there are others that actually DO need them

wow, the things some people will do for an engine...

QUOTE

I didn't think that, but now I am scared.....of these new feelings

If there is a source for rear caliper rebuild kits, let me know, I have about 4 that need to be rebuilt or I have 4 cores.

Alright you vultures, here is the list.
0 set of valve cover gaskets
0 complete exhaust gasket sets (coper rings and foil muffler gaskets)
0 set of injector O-ring gaskets (big and small)
2 individual small injector O-rings
7 individual larger injector O-ring seals
0 new 1.7/2.0 air intake temp sensor
0 front brake caliper kit (do two calipers each)
0 new voltage regulator (R588 VW style)
0 rear caliper kit for one caliper (missing one gasket)
(On hold) MPS 280 100 049 (Bosch#)
(On hold) MPS 0280 100 041 (Bosch), 022 906 051E (VW) Needs adjusting
0 good (maybe new?) fuel injector for 1.7 (yellow) with elbow
0 new fuel injector for 1.7 (yellow) with elbow
0 good fuel injector elbows
0 small rubber elbows, new, for the air line to the intake.VW P/N 022 129 637
0 old style e-brake handle
0 set of FI points
2 sets of ignition points
0 1.7 FI system
1 1.7 throttle body
1 1.7 TPS
1 1.8(?) FI brain, Bosch# 0280 000 111, VW# 473 906 021
1 condensors, new
0 NIB Distributor cap
0 NIB rotor
1 NIB gasket for oil filler neck

I also have 8 gaskets that I can only guess are cyl head gaskets

If you want something you need to just pay shipping and small handling (burrito) fee for my packaging and time. Let the needy have first dibbs! I am not charging because Don and I both feel that since we got these things for free due to a fellow enthusiasts death, that this is the honorable thing to do.

ill take the valve covers and exhaust gasket kit when i pick up the engine

thanks mike... i may be down that way this weekend...ill let you know

Aaron,
you should be here this weekend as the engine is outside and not only in the elements, but in view of the code enforcement people who will likely make my life hell if they see it. I have no room for it in my storage and only took it to help a widow out. She would have had a bitch of a time getting rid of it and would likely have had to pay for such a service. I need another tarp which I do not have nor do i have the free $$ for.
So ehat is the suprise? Gonna let me use you as a pillow

If Aaron can't get down here (plenty of rain expected in the next 3 days), I can make some room in my garage (trust me, I DON'T need another motor)

Mark,
That sounds like a good deal. When could you move it? Aaron may be down this weekend also so would he have access to pick it up? LMK

if he would like to hang on to it...that would give me much more flexibility. mike...ill let you know asap what the plans are

Mike I would like the FI elbows and the rear brake rebuild kit oh and one exhaust gasket set. If that's not to much for one guy to take.
Let me know how much to send and how to send it paypal, check, mo, whatever

Thanks, Sean

how much for the Ebrake handle? my car didnt come with one

-Junior

Sean,
you only need one elbow for the 1.7 FI. You can have one with what I have of a rear rebuild kit and an exhaust gasket set. I'll pack it and send you the total.
Man, I would have thought that these things would have been gone in the first hour. Oh well.

Junior,
Read the post man, all are free! It is yours, I will just need you to PM me your address for shipping cost calculation.

lol thats what i meant. How much for the shipping

-Junior

I could definately use the fuel injectors.

If I can't use them on my TIII project with D-jet, they are yours!

Okey dokey.

*koff koff*

FINE, AAROD convinced me to help out. We'll draw straws on who takes the trans, who takes the engine?

Mike,

could I get the F.I. Trigger points..
and I don't want to be greedy either, but if no one claims the cap/rotor I could use it to get my street car running..

shipping is 81052 or I will be sending you a box soon, and you could just include the parts in my return packaging...

?

brant

Brant,
done.

Brando,
What tranny? Thats funny, you and Aaron fighting over a tranny. Is it male, is it female? No one knows

I'm gonna update the parts available now in the original post.

Why not put this stuff in the Classifieds under 'FREE' ??

I'm gonna link it today. I was just being lazy since this is where the thread started.

OK. 2 more questions

1) Is that motor staying at your place?
2) Is your avatar 'Afghanistanimation'?
