was it an odd luck for somebody to get it for $12.5K or is it a normal price level for those engines these days on Ebay?

saw that, its a good deal, the owner of my old car was thinking about sticking it in the old 996....hell its cheaper than a rebuild on an M96! - sure there are issues with wiring and such to make it work.....but dont know

I bought these.

For $150, I'm willing to take a risk.

Several here have re-painted their calipers. Tim had a great DIY on it. The other caliper paint is made by Duplicolor and good up to around 650F (I think), the G2 is good to in the 900F range. I think I'm going to get this. Tirerack sells for 2x as much.

you dont have variocam PLUS so you have to do some sort of wiring to trigger the lifters - JakeR has or is doing one....

Variocam + and converting DBC to DBW would be the biggest issue...
