My new motor
 

Well here goes. I saw a 2.0 ltr type IV on ebay. I am taking a huge chance here but wish me luck. I won the bid at $1035.00. According to the seller it was running prior to removal. He is upgrading to a 6 cylinder for his 914. Engine is complete except exhaust. Car had 76000 on odometer but probably more you think? Car looks very clean as does engine.

I REALLY wanted to go with a RAT motor from Raby but it is a little steep for me at this point. I will go fairly stock to begin with except for maybe rebuilding the heads just to be safe. Jake your motor is still in the future plans for my car.

I checked at the local Porshce recycler for a 914 motor and he wanted $1500.00.

Any suggestions to start with?

My car is still far from complete but LL baseball is almost over and unless I coach the All-Star team I should be done soon.

Here is a picture of the motor. It should arrive tomorrow. Not as good a deal as ShApE got. Hopefully I can sell the parts I don't need.

lets just say i got REALLY lucky..yours looks nice though

1035? they really that expensive over there? similar motor would fetch half that amount in the UK..

Anything with Porsche on it fetches more quid (aka dollars):doh:

In the last 5 years I have been GIVEN a 1.8 AN 412 motor and a CU 2.0l motor! Now that's a bargain :silly:

It's the cost of the rest of the Kit that adds up and makes the difference between an expensive engine and an expensive engine.

I'd be happy with a complete 2.0l 914 motor for that money.
