Looking to buy (Extremely cheap or donations) a 944 block. Does not have to be good (scored walls okay, just about everything but cracked would be fine), I am going to experiment with it and take some measurements for a later project. Local would be nice. Let me know if someone has one taking up space.

Time to start autocad in hopes of the largest displacement 951 motor I can build. muhahahahahaaaaa....

I gave an old block to Rockfan up in Milwaukee (I think). He might be willing to part with it.

 

Danke! Did you get rid of the NA?

I MAY have a 951 block with scored cylinders for sale in DFW. Waiting to hear back from the machine shop the cost of getting it sleeved. If it's too much I may opt to find a decent shortblock and start with it. What's your time frame and what is "cheap"?

 

No rush and cheap is cheap. If you are going to use it for an ornament, I might be willing to pay for that ornament. Just dont let it go in the trash.

I think I know that car, did you buy it recently from another Dallas local? Car would be red with kalahari engine bay, non-working hatch (last I played with it), and a poor paint job?

Hey Matt, did you see your Barney purple 944 is back up on eBay but with no reserve this time?

 

Had not seen that, may have to go buy it. Thanks for the heads up

Hi - I *might* have a block I can part with. I'll know in a couple of weeks once I get a chance to take a good look at it. If nobody else steps up check back with me in a couple of weeks or so.

951 project - huh? Here I thought you were going to buy that 944 project that is on Pelican. It's in Chicago.

Oh - and I'm in La Crosse, not Milwaukee. About 5 hours away. However, I will be making a trip to Chicago in a few weeks. My neighbor wants to look at a 912, and I've got the truck and trailer.

 

Well, that car is on Ebay and the ad reads differently that the Pelican ad. I just emailed him.
As to the 951 project I already have the car and I am being lazt about putting it back together. Since it has taken this long I am exploring the possibility of a 3.4L or larger motor. Since I dont know if it will work I dont need a spare engine (further I would end up chucking virtually the entire thing) I just need a block and I dont care about the cylinders for obvious reasons.

Not yet. You up to finishing a HG job?

 

Sure, just not this weekend. I have been out of town every weekend for the past three. Need some time to sleep.

Matt/Jim,
For shipping odd, heavy packages, check out www.baxglobal.com. I have shipped some trans, wheels and roll cages with them. Very good rates.

 

how heavy is the block?
