SOLD- '87 3.2 Carrera Motor, 9K miles on rebuild Options

[Cairo94507]

Hello Everyone,

I could not resist the complete '95 3.6 motor Chris ( @tygaboy ) was selling a few months ago so it is in my garage. At this point, I have probably 99% of the parts I need to make the swap and we plan to begin work mid to late October. Of course I will start a swap thread when work begins. Consequently...

SOLD– 1987 3.2 Carrera engine with Motronic injection. 9K miles on a full rebuild by Bruce Abbott (flat6pac) on the Pelican site. Bruce has been building Porsche engines for over 3 decades and is well known and respected. I have all the receipts and photos of the actual build process. The only changes from stock specifications are 964 cams and a Steve Wong custom chip. This engine has run great since the day it was first started in 2018. We just did a valve adjustment about 600 miles ago. Oil/filter changed every 3K miles with Driven HR1 15W50 conventional oil and was last changed with valve adjustment. As most of you know, this car/engine has never been raced or tracked.

We plan to remove this engine toward the end of October. If you want to come hear it run, please feel free to reach out to me. I am posting some engine pictures here. Interested parties can contact me for copies of receipts and build pictures. I am asking $30K. It will be your responsibility to arrange shipping and pay any fees.

Thanks for looking-

@ndfrigi - Right? I know; but I could not resist the 3.6 Chris had. I am hopeful it will be running shortly after the new year. I got nothing but time so it will not be a rush.

I appreciate the nice comments @mepstein and @burton73 . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I agree re Bruce Abbott; he is a wealth of knowledge and expertise when it comes to these engines. He built the engine to the level my car is built so I would never have issues. Then, wouldn't you know it... a 3.6 pops up locally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Beautiful car Michael and excellent flapper box/airbox installation, looks very Sano..!

Don’t you have to turn around the 3.6 injection to make it fit 914 configurations and then remove the engine rain tray for the injection height clearance.?

It would be nice to upgrade to early 930 caliper brakes on the front and do a spacer on the rear 914-6 calipers that way you can run a vented rotor. You probably would have to upgrade your wheels. Oh ya, and a limited slip diff transmission. I would definitely change the gears. As you already know, one thing leads to another. Lol..!

You don't have to flip the intake. You cut the rib between the tubes and then you can rotate it a bit to clear the trunk.
GLWS Great deal considering it needs nothing like the 3.6 you purchased.
