Mmmmm,
Was it a rebuilt crate? "Engine builders supply" does that kind of think methinks. Vertex does that with transmissions but requires a core.

For "crate" engines, call your local offical Porsche dealer.

I believe it was AFJuvat that mentioned crate engines available from Porsche at an astounding cost...

I think an NA one was only $5000 ... I remember AF telling me some prices. SOme were a little over the top.....
I guess the factory still has some 944 engines to sell. Go figure...

There is a 2.5 '87 turbo on ebay (seems pretty complete-pictures include front end accesories and the bellhousing) for $2000.

Re: Crate Engines...
Did you hurt your engine already?
Your most economical approach is Ebay, I think Quote:

If you're looking for rebuilt, 944online sells them as well. They do require a core.
Ebay is nice, but it's rare you get a new one for a good price.
