BEWARE OF LA PORSCHE
I bought an engine from LA Porsche and according to there web sit you get a complete tested engine ready to go. What I got was an engine with crushed and missing engine tin, distributor out of engine and missing caps and rotors. Plug wires crushed and missing. No DME or coils, wiring harness with cut leads. After repeated calls with no progress I am taking advise from a well know 3.6 conversion expert and moving on. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS

When all is said and done, can you follow up and let us know how the engine sorted out? I have looked at them as a source for an engine...I don't like the sounds of it.

LA Porsche is a dealer, I think you mean LA Porsche DISMANTLERS, yeah, they are janky and crooked like a ****. Rumor mill states that theyhave a lot of hot parts for sale. I have had bad dealings with them too.

Yes, I do mean LA Porsche Dismantlers. I will post the first driving impressions, and some pictures once the car is on the ground running. Steve Timmins is helping me get the parts and advice. If you need anything for a 3.6 conversion go to www.instant-g.com Steve is awesome, and you could donate to his Cinco de Mayo Chilifest a fundraiser for Special Olympics of Delaware.
