Question Where too look for a TIV Engine

Hey Guys,

Do you have any pointers on where to look for a TIV engine ?
Preferrably one that is in running order and that does not need a rebuild soon.

Mark's Bugbarn had a 1.7 Bus engine for sale, he was asking 1500 for it IIRC. Would that be a reasonable price ?

Thanks,

Rob.

Even though I like Mark but that price is a little high for 1.7.
Sandeep got a better deal.

BTW....was good seeing you again today.

914 2.0 GA motor

Hi Rob,

I got mine from a guy in Montreal who hit a tree with his 914. Including shipping, I got the longblock delivered for $1300.

I was just at the right place at the right time. Why don't you try the Porsche clubs in the area ? Ottawa, Montreal ect ?

I'll keep an eye out aswell and let you know if I see anything.

Sandeep

Hey Alex,

Was good seeing you too !
Can't wait to see your car finished, that's going to be a sweet ride !!

Sandeep, thanks. Stupid question: would a 914 engine be a direct bolt-in ? I assume you don't have to change the cooling system ?

Thanks,

Rob.

Rob,

Here's a guy in Oshawa .. Mike's 914s http://members.tripod.com/mike4g/

I think he had a running 1.8l complete for $1600 IIRC when I was looking for one.

He said at the time he had alot of engines .. runners and cores. His contact information is on his web page.

Sandeep
