Posting for my wrench, Speed Gallery in North Hollywood, Ca.
Price: $9,500 w/rebuildable core, $11,500 w/o core.

Customer's car that is installing a new DFI 3.8. I drove this motor in the original car before it was pulled and refreshed and it ran perfectly. It only has 33k orig miles on it but they pulled the heads and refeshed them along with the all the bearings, etc. including the IMS. This was going to be my new motor but I've since found a 3.8 I'm going to use. This motor is complete with all accessoeries including the air conditioning compressor. 12month/12k mile warranty included.

I did not even know you could install DFI 3.8 in the 996
I hope they document it somewhere ! would love to see it.

Mind me asking why did they pull the engine and 'refreshed' heads and bearings..

I mean was there any sign of problem that pushed do that work ?

I wonder what head refresh and bearing mean as well... more by curiosity than anything else, but if you want to enlight us Because I had to idea there was bearing that could/should be replaced in the heads

At only 33K, normaly there shouldn't be anything that needs a refresh.

Phil it's going into a race car.

Agreed there was probably no reason to refresh other than it's relatively easy to do so when it's out of the car and makes selling the motor a little easier, especially with a guarantee. Bearings are rod and mains...

philooo

oh even the rods are changed, quite deep refresh then..

nice.

if only it was a 3.8 I would entertain the idea in a much different way

Anyways listing the mods / refresh parts, might help value this better and interest more buyers.

Great price on a refreshed motor sounds like a very good deal. This ought to sell fast with all the reported/purported IMSB failures online...

Remind me what it takes it put a 3.6 in a 3.4 e-gas car? It seems like an ECU, harness and a couple of smaller components.

Great deal

IIRC you can run stock ECU and harness. I'll let JR chime in.

One question though, is variable timing affected in anyway due to the different variocam setup or does that not come into play here?

onefastviking

ECU reprograming and/or switches are used to make a "window" of RPM that will allow Variocam to work as needed. It's been done many times, not a new thing.

I guess I meant in more terms of any mechanical issues you might face in terms of any compatibility although it is completely isolated to the head, I was just wondering if there were any gotcha's anywhere for the system.

two different fuel systems -- I think the 3.6L has a return. Not that if couldn't be over come.

Actually, the 2002 3.6liter was the first year for the NON-return fuel system, but that's easy to retrofit as needed either way. Just time and $$$ and really not bad at all to do.

jrgordonsenior

Run the 3.4 heads, intake, and TB and you don't have to do anything. Simple plug-n-play with more cylinder volume....

Just reach down in the tank and pull the return fuel pump.....
