Thanks for mentioning us but we don't build 993 engines at this time - only 996/997 and 997.2 GT3 or RS engines.

Count me in supporting Jae's work not only engines but chassis set up as well.

@FLYT993 What does a 3.8 build cost and what kind of bhp/torque?

depends on where you live anyone that you would trust to rebuild a stock 993 can do it.

for the 3.8 the tricky parts are the cylinder base seals and engine management for US '96-98 cars, other wise very straightforward.

You can check with Emile Pelletier at EP9 Autosport in Quebec City, he already built some 993 base 4.0 litres engines with Motec management, also he has two complete Cellette fixture with attachment that he rents to chassis shop in the States when needed.
