Am I sensing a void in the marketplace for this service? There is but at the same time, it’s not an easy service to provide. Parts are hard to get and labor to do it right isn’t cheap. There is a much bigger market to build 911 engines and the owners tend to have deeper pockets. It’s very similar to restoring a chassis. Metalwork and paint all cost the same for materials and labor but easier to justify on a $200k car (911) vs 50k (914). Eric at PMB is putting out some top level cars both four and six. I would ask him about his engine services. |

What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
Am I sensing a void in the marketplace for this service? Eric at PMB is putting out some top level cars both four and six. I would ask him about his engine services. I'll second Eric. We talked about what I wanted in my motor, what my expectations were and of course, budget. He found a good fit for all of those. Mine happens to be a six but I know he could do the same for a four. The days of $5k engines are gone and rightfully so. The parts and the knowledge to build them right have gone up like everything else. I signed up with him and communication has been fantastic and I have no concerns that the final product won't be exactly what I want and what he said he would build. |
