Where............
 

In my shop! The $10 - $12K was for parts and a valve freshening on the cylinder heads. I provided all the labor at no cost to the owner, me! Many years ago, I worked as a mechanic for about 3 years. Most of that time was spent building stock, hot street and race engines. Digging into a 911 engine was not all that scary!

Any ideas what a set of 3.2L (95mm) cylinders go for? It looks like it will be just $1400 to get them bored out to 98mm and replated.

Thanks

Cost of cylinders...........
 

Actually, $1400 isn't too bad. A new set of cylinders will likely cost in the $3K to $4K range! I used the 100mm KN Engineering "slip fit" cylinders that were right at $4K! This is a case of "you get what you pay for"!

They used to be about $400 for a used set, but I've seen prices climb to the $5-$600 range recently. At least that's what folks are asking.

Broken Head Studs
 

I just bought an SC that has broken head studs I believe. It's from an 83 and has engine number 64D2571. I have pictures from the seller that show it underwent a rebuild several years ago but no documentation what was actually done. My ultimate goal for the car does not involve this engine so I'm trying to evaluate selling as a core vs. rebuilding and selling it. Can you give me any guidance? Thanks!

Nice!

Just a thought on "There is no replacement for dispalcement".

Your car/engine is about 40 years old. If you want super fast - sell what you have and buy a newer car.

Bigger and faster is not always better. These cars have tremendous character. They are old. That said, being old is part of their charm.

Have you ever seen a track prepared early 911 or Alfa Romeo GTV? Would you really care about their displacent?
