Yea, and most are asking for a GRIP of cash too.:roll eyes:

May as well buy new from Porsche for the money they are asking.

This motor is still available. I thought it was sold but funding became an issue. So, I want $8k for the motor as listed in my original posting , $7k with a rebuildable core. I will post it to E-Bay in few days but I'd really hoped a Rennlister could use it....

I really thought you would have sold your motor by now, I'm surprised it hasn't sold.

How much do I have to pay you to keep running the 3.4?

I feel if you can prove with out a doubt all the work was done to it as stated AND HE IS WILLING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY to your buyer, 9999.00. No warranty or SOLID PROOF, 5000.00. Solid proof, no warranty 6-8

No, not likley a 3.8. No good donor for that ($$$). We have a 3.8 DFI, but it would be crazy expensive to do the conversion (ECU, harness, etc).

It will look a bit different than the stock 3.4, but not yet sure how different. We need to see what parts are in the cupboard

We can flop our dyno sheets on the table when both engines are done. I will just make sure to print mine on legal paper so it will be bigger than yours.

Oh, I am sure Dwain will be flattered by your complement.

Cheers,
