I'm looking for a porsche 911 ( see seperate thread), but i've run across a local 77 911 that's in very nice condition, but needs a new motor.

seller recommended purchasing a 3.0 motor from motormeister and said two local shops could install the motor for about $1,250

motormeister wants about $3,600 for the 3.0 motor.

does the $1,250 install price sound reasonable?

I am located in northern maryland

what other install costs am I liable to run into in the engine exchange...

thanks in advance...

Do a search, here and on the Pelican site, on Motormeister before you make any commtiments.

thanks Dave - I did do a search and I will be looking elsewhere for a motor after reading the stories posted by members.

thanks again for the heads-up!

After that recommendation, I'd view this seller with extreme caution also....

Wow.. the "Red Scare" in the 50's, now the "Motormeister Scare" 50 years later! ANyone that even knows their name must be a "Meister-Commie"!

Good marketing dept and glossy ads with low numbers...

$3600 didn't even cover the labor cost of my rebuilt 3 liter motor. I did entertain the idea of a $3600 rebuilt motor..then I got sober. Basically, he is replacing broken parts, re -ringing, new gaskets and thank you very much. So you are buying a high mileage motor with high mileage critical parts...oil pump, oil cooler and P/C. My 3 liter rebuild was 15k when all was said and done. It was bumped up to 3.2 ss P/C, 964 cams, new oil pump and oil cooler. New valves, springs, guides etc. The stuff adds up..then there was as long as you are in there..clutch, axles, alt, starter..SSI's, Dansk. I very happy with the results..great performance and very little worry about the car leaving me stranded. I would re-think the car you are looking at.
