Not mine, just thought someone was asking about buying one that had been built.

Nice. Fairly accurate on the price point, too.

Nice find. They even offer to ship your car to them to install it. Sounds good. If only I had the money.

I would like the three liter for sure. Looks nice and sounds like a quality build from the spec list.

Why wouldn't you start with a 2.7 or S2 block a much stronger platform?

I don't think the warranty is out of line--it's even generous. Think of the possibilities for disaster by giving someone an engine where they have to spec out the turbo and fuel system...boom goes the dynamite within 10 minutes if you get it wrong!

Yeah the warranty is nice. I'd never ship my car to broadfoot though based on what i've heard.

It will drop into a 924 body no problem.

+1 for warranty, Id hate to spend $7,000-$12,000 on a high end engine build and be SOL if something happened.

Same here. I wanted to see if they're dry or wet installed.


The warranty is a good deal. If the engine was assembled incorrectly, you would know by 12,000 miles. It's not like a new car engine, where the warranty covers the engine's assembly and design.
