Another pithy quote that grabbed the spammers attention. :rolleyes:

I removed the spammers URL's when I pasted his quote...

Oh, for Pete's sake!

That engine is a thing of beauty. Thanks for the thread and all the great pictures!

The spammers love me!

Thank you. Not finished yet. There will be more. FYI, If anyone wants to download all of the pictures when the motor is done, the original post has a link to the database that you can do a zip download of the complete gallery.

Inside and out!

any plans to bench test or dyno it?

Yes. I need to talk to Jerry Woods and see what he would charge for doing the initial run in/break in on it. There is another place that does it too that Ted from German Precision recommended. I think it would be nice to show that the motor is solid inside and out.

Looks nice... almost exactly how I rebuilt mine last year.
What chip do you plan to use with the 964 cams?

Thank you.
I do not have a car for the motor, thus, no DME control unit. That is for whomever buys the motor to determine what chip they want for their car. If I did have a car, it would be a Steve Wong chip (911chips.com) hands down. Steve made a custom chip for my twin plugged 3.4 motor in my 87 Carrera a few years back. I was very happy with it. Purred like a kitten. :cool:

I took off from work early today and drove up to Parts Heaven in Hayward to visit "Big AL", and Spencer. I bought a nice set of heat exchangers from them for the motor. (remember, it did not come with an exhaust system) From there I went to German Precision armed with an 18 pack of suds for Ted and glass beaded the heat exchangers. I'll head to the shop tomorrow and get those painted up nice, mounted on the motor, and do what ever else I can on it. Other then that....I am going to take it easy this weekend and take some time off with the family.
As always, more pictures coming your way.

Thank you for following the thread! As Joe Bob posted....$1,000,000.00 dollars!

Heater boxes cleaned up very nicely. I wanted to do more today but I am kind of stuck now waiting for the plating stuff to be finished. I also need to procure a catalytic converter and heater piping that is sandwiched between the muffler and heat exchangers.

ooooh I like

I got the hardware back from the platers today. I also got my fan, fan housing, strap, and pulley parts back from being refinished. I spent quite awhile today putting the injection system back together. It's getting closer to being finished. :) I have a few more pieces that I need to buy still.

The finish on the fan and shroud is sensational.

I have Mark Motshagen to thank for that.

It's a thing of beauty! Nicely done!

Love it.

Beautiful.

needs the 10HP Green Bay sticker!SmileWavy

Did the fuel pressure regulators go through the plating bath?

The ones in the pictures did but they were plugged. The ones that are on the engine are brand new.

Go Packers! :D

That is a pretty engine. Did it sell as yet?

Thank you. Not yet. I still have not added up all the parts. Scared to. :eek: I plan on making a list of all new parts and all of the parts that I have had to source used. Also, the machine work that was done.

We all would love to see what that beauty cost to replicate. I am not in the market, my engine only has 16,000 miles since a total rebuild.

I have put the rest of the heater ducting on and bolted on the muffler. The only things left to do at this point are to take it out of the engine stand, mount the new flywheel and clutch assembly (yes...NEW), make the calls to Jerry Woods for dynoing, and go from there.
OH! And add up all the receipts and make the list of parts new & used here. Ugh!!! NOT tonight.

The above is the first post in the thread - dated 7/29 - and here you are 10/7 and basically "finished." Seems you met the goal!

It's done...for the most part. I spoke with Jerry Woods yesterday about getting it broken in on the dyno. He said it may be a bit before he can get me in. The only things left to do are to remove it from the engine stand, install the flywheel seal, flywheel, ring gear, clutch assembly, and the last piece of sheet metal. Here she is. :)

Beautiful engine. I am real glad I don't need it. :D

Damn that looks pretty

Thank you for the kudos on the build. I take a lot of pride in the motors I build. I do not enjoy the clean up and prep work of building engines. I am my own worst critic. It is a ton of work and elbow grease! If it isn't "Dan" clean, it is not clean enough! I do enjoy the build process and the hunt for missing parts. I also enjoy the time helping others to see what it takes to do the job right.

And now to answer the question that I am sure a lot of you have been waiting for...Price.

The price is $30,000 outright. Price updated3/2/17

She's a beauty dan! best wishes on the sale!!!

Crickets after you posted the price...��.......that's a lot of coin for an engine without a car.
You do nice work. Can't wait to see it on Jerry's dyno.

Yeeeeahh, that is a tiny bit over my budget to repower my Westfalia....

Good luck selling it!

Well it looks like dyno time at Jerry's is out of the question. Minimum two month wait time. I am going to check out one other recommendation. Worse comes to worse, I will make arrangements with one of our customers to "borrow" their car for the break in.

Price dropped 3/2/2017

Price dropped 3/2/2017

A 3.6 would have appealed to a broader market. Most of the guys swapping motors on an early car (69 thru 83) are skipping the 3.2 and going straight to the 3.6 especially at that price point. This motor is almost basically stock which seems to conflict with the objectives sought by most hobbyists looking to put together a "big" motor/early car hotrod, so although beautifully executed and documented, I think the market for this engine at the current price point is very small. Having said that, it only takes one buyer. The engine looks fantastic, good luck with the sale.

Don't kid yourselves, this was a bargain.
 

When I first read his thread, I thought that's a lot of money for a stock 3.2.
After rebuilding my own 3.2 with 70k miles, and really trying to make it right, my perspective is- this motor was a freaking bargain for the level, of skill and detail that went into it.
Yes, it could have been rebuilt cheaper- no plating, redo rockers, plate cylinders, etc, but this wasn't about that- this was a quality build, no corners cut.
On another note to the poster- thanks for posting the links to your build pics. I received my engine partially disassembled, and your photos answered many questions. A true resource.
Thanks!
