Ed Pink engines
It seems that Ed Pink builds the motors for the "reimaged" singers. Has anyone bought a motor from them? Curious as to how much they get for them, specifically the 390hp 4.0.
Hey, I can dream.... ![]()

Interesting. While I didn't know Pink still had anything to do with 911 based engines, I know he built engines for Jim Busby's 962 team back in the 80's. As I recall Busby felt he wouldn't get the same Andial engines as Holbert's factory team, so he had Ed Pink build his motors to try and draw even.

^^^^ That is engine porn for sure.
I wonder just how many mega thousands that engine cost?

Well, that's fairly reasonable for what it is. Especially when you consider that the Singer Porsche 911 wrapped around it can cost the owner an eye-watering $500K, or more...plus a donor car

The entry level Singers are "only" $395K USD and a 12-14 month wait......a bargain. The shop is a real boutique in size.

Anyone else wonder if Singers' star is beginning to fade a bit? Perhaps familiarity has begun to do its thing on beauty...

Yes, worth it IMO because you'd have a bullet proof "new" air cooled motor.
How much does the average amateur spend rebuilding their own?

You can easily spend $20k on a "stock" <= 3.6 race prepped motor, with core!

That's my shift knob! Singer ordered 10 more knobs from me with more to follow.
