I just ran across a good deal on a Porsche 3 liter from a 1980 911. I think its a 3 liter. Its the stock engine. Its been rebuilt but not assembled. The heads are off but it is complete. I will be picking it up on Saturday. Anybody with an idea of what the engine is worth? I just want to make sure I am getting it for a good price and not being taken. The heads are fresh, new rings and it does come with the gasket kits. Everything is supposed to be ready to assemble. Whats it worth?

Truu, the later 3.0's have higher compression and when working, the lamba sensor does a nice job leaning things out, but will add a little more to hook up. He will need the box from under the pass. seat out of a 911, some of the wiring and relays etc. Again, not that I wouldn't turn a deal down if I found one, but if I had a choice, I would still go with the earlier 3.0. Compression is easier to increase than port size. But that is just my opinion. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I'm not a machinest so what do I know? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Just that milling for compression has been cheaper than porting heads. I have had 2 SC's and niether had smog pumps on them? That a CA thing? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |
