I recall seeing this engine here before. Looks to be a damn nice car. We need to figure out who this is and talk him out of selling.

sweet Raby CAM'ed engine


Nobody gets out of 914land alive.


Ooopsies,

Sorry Mikey. Me fix.

Fixed misleading link title too.

link added

Bueno....

Yep, I have seen posts on this car before. If he does sell it, I hope he gets another one. very nice 914 for sure!

I think it's the guy that sells model cars...I think he is restoring some kind of british car...

This might be an interesting one to watch. Conventional wisdom seems to say that money spent on rebuilding a 4 banger is lost at resell. But if you convert to a 6, then your resell price goes up.

So considering that he is advertising a brand new (albiet stock) Raby engine, I will be very interested to see what it goes for.

don't ask me why I care, I can't imagine ever selling my car regardless of what I put behind the seat

newdeal2 is his screen name here (I think???).....

its not a raby engine, just a raby cam

quote :
The heads and crank were sent to a local Porsche shop and received a complete rebuild including all new bearings, new intake and exhaust valves, hd springs, guides , etc. The case was align bored and the galley plugs were replaced [tapped and screwed]. I used a type 1 oil pump for better pressure, new flat top pistons [better compression] and cylinders. A new Raby designed 73 grind Web Cam was installed with a new gear and lifters also by Webcam.


sorry guys

What Raby Engine ? The guy said he put in a Raby Camshaft, Raby didn't build the engine according to his description...

Just wanted to clarify that.

NO NO NO, ITS "GOODNESS WHAT KNOCKERS"---WHY THANK YOU DOCTOR.....

There was a local guy here that raced an old Triumph I think. It had a sticker on the side that said

"All parts falling off of this car are of the finest British craftsmanship"

Now, that being said, he beat my Mazda times......
