Default 3.8L Engine for sale

Hey Everyone,

Well, I completed the building of my 91 Euro Cup (see avatar) a few weeks ago and survived my first race of the season at Lime Rock.

As many of you know, I have been selling a lot of the modified parts that came on the 91 Cup when I bought it. One of the last remaining parts to go is the 3.8L engine. It has only 3.5 hours on it since a full rebuild. Here is a link to the ad if you know anyone interested.

Thanks!

Nice engine, it would be a blast in an older 911! Who built it?

Wow. Hell of an engine. I spent more than the asking price to rebuild my RSA's engine a while back. Wish I'd had this option then. But I'm guessing this probably wouldn't make a very good street engine?

Nice looking motor. I sent the ad to a friend who covets my engine (generally similar but with Carrillo rods and still Motronic).

Couple of questions:
Is the crank stock or did you drill and/or knife edge it?
Stock injectors?
What type of dyno did you get 384 CHP on?

In any event best of luck selling.

Hey Mike,

It was built by Jay Jarvis, who owns a race shop out in Sonoma, CA.
