opinions on this engine local to me?

[jmitro]

this popped up on my local facebook. I've considered buying it for future rebuild and install into my flared 74 914. Appears to be a 911T engine.

value as a core?
how easy/expensive would it be to rebuild as E or S specs?

sorry for the newb questions. Not that familiar with 911 six engines

70 T engine so no oil squirters for pistons. Mag case so if it needs the works figure on 15K if you build it your self. I listed some pricing for my 2.4 build in this post, also good price estimates from others.

2.4 Engine to ST Speces

Without a running history, it might be worth half what is being asked just in parts.

I would do a leakdown and bore scope inspection, at the very least, if I was interested in this motor.

If you are not experienced with these motors, and expect someone else to do the wrenching, you will probably be in for a big surprise.

Thanks for the input. I decided to pass on it for now.
I’m learning about the costs of 6 cyl engines

Better off to start with a 3.0
Residual value is higher and build costs tend to be less
Hate to see anyone with $15000+ in a 2.2

3l offers all kinds of clutch and gearbox strength issues on a 914. Better to stick with the 2.2-2.7l engines for a -6 conversion unless one is also doing a 915/916 gearbox conversion at the same time.
