I know what you're saying Dean. I have to sell off old parts in order to finance my projects. In my mind there are some parts that are worth next to nothing - the parts everyone replaces or upgrades. A good example is a 3DLZ turbo. I've got 4 of them, want to buy one? Hell no you don't 'cause they're junk and everyone is throwing them away. That is what I thought of the stock 930 CIS manifold. In my mind it is a worthless castaway. Obviously I am wrong about that 'cause I can't find one cheap.
Mike, I'll take your offer for the cam housings. E-mail me your address and shipping charges.
Thank you for the offer but I'd rather not borrow parts, this project could easily take a year to complete. So far I've got a fine collection of junk. Any servicable part I buy will be fixed up and sold cheap when the fabbed parts are placed on the real motor. All the other "scrap" will be given away or taken to the junkyard. So look close when I post pictures of the project. If you see any parts you want give me a holler. I have a long list of Pelicanites who have helped me out along the way. I plan to give back to the board.
This evening before I chased the kids around with white hot wires spraying shards of molten metal I dug out some of my "treasures". I just started laughing at this crap. I gotta take some pictures so you can see what I'm working with. My wife doesn't buy the method to my madness line. I found some damaged tin pieces, a few iron heads, a nasty looking fan housing, a set of 6 cut off exhaust flanges some fella gave me at least 5 years ago .......
Anyway there are a few expensive parts I will need. One of them is the funky shaped pipe that connects the BOV to the turbo air inlet. I might try to fab one of those but it looks a bit tricky.
How about a set of warped valve covers? All 911s leak oil at some point and are upgraded to turbo covers. Surely there are some covers too warped to fix.
I'll shoot some pictures and post them here for giggles. We'll have a Cooter meets ANDIAL engine build. HA!
