Hi Folks, I'm looking to see if this is a viable project for me to start working on it, for this, I took some pictures about the actual state and part and according to the seller that's all he have, according to him a bunch of pieces were lost during the years inside his mechanic shop.

By browsing other engine pictures I can see some missing parts like:
The intake system: Air Flow Meter Part# 0280203023, Intake Boot - Air Flow Meter to Throttle Body

I'll really appreciate if you can point me some obvious missing part so I can search them on pelican parts or other site to have an estimate budget on what is needs to get this engine back and running, what you see in the pics is all they have

BLACK3.2

Its a 3.2. Looks very intact actually. Impossible to ell everything from those pics though.

Looks like exhaust system, idle control valve and air intake system fir starters.

It's a 1984 911

There's no exhaust system, that must be expensive I guess

Its a porsche. Nothing is cheap. You just have to learn how to scrounge, buy used. Go to swap meets.

dhernando

yeah you are right, but I just want to have a clear view in case I decide to buy it

dhernando

this is the body...

You would be surprised. A used stock exhaust system can probably be had for cheap. A lot of people upgraded theirs and thus have stock ones kicking around. However, this will depend on your location.

Other things I noticed missing are ignition coil, wires,axles, and a bunch of random vacuum and breather hoses. What will cost you money is what you have to replace which is probably everything made of rubber. Fuel lines and seals I would say. Judging by the rust on the fuel rails that thing has been sitting for a while.

Visually the car looks to be in nice condition from the picture.
I would consider the asking price + needed non motor work + what a complete motor would cost if that one became unusable vs what the completed car will be worth and start your negotiation from there. Figure how much the motor is worth as it sits.

The price is around 12k the way it is right now, my disadvantage is my location cause importing the pieces from the states can be expensive, but I'm thinking in bold with another 10k I think the car can be done.
