It must have cost a pretty penny.

This was my first full involvement in an engine rebuild.
It took around 6 months. Tom Amon was the builder. I did all the prep, sourcing, painting etc. Not sure I will ever take on this gargantuan task again. My goal was to learn the Porsche 911 engine building process, which my respects go out to the engine builders! I have learned every aspect of pre-89 911's within the past 2 years. Not that I can perform the task, just understand the complete process. I wanted longevity in this motor with a few perks. So time: 6 months Cost: $8500 w/labor |

Jason,
$8500 plus labor or including labor? I bet you spent a LOT of time calling, emailing, driving, etc chasing parts and supplies and dropping off/picking up machining. If all that is included that probably qualifies as a HELL of a deal for a fully rebuilt Turbo motor. Seems like when we read of Turbo's being rebuilt we are typically talking a $10,000 starting point...or am I way off?

Very nice work! You are an inspiration to me (all but the 6 months part). I'm at the 2 month point and hoping for 3 or 4 months. Let us know how it breaks in!

Dan,
Including labor with new parts. Very time consuming, however I am happy with the payoff. I will update when I am at the 1k mark. That could take another 6 months with my schedule. Thank you Pelicans! |

Hey Jason,
I hope the dash I'm getting from you helps in a small way. Anyway, I always wanted to see more of the car than the backround shots I get on Ebay. Enjoy! Ralph
