Another option. Instead, for only around $5 -$7K by using mine and others used but still good parts, someone could have a 3.5 liter with Carrillo billet rods ( have new bearings ) , JE pistons ( need new rings ), liners ( need renitrated as most would do ) twin plugged ported 930 heads that need 2 valve springs ( must have happened years ago before I got it ) from a previous unknown over rev, ( I drove it pretty easy like a grandpa would), otherwise just a valve job for safety sake. Just saw a used standard crank in the parts for sale for not much. Then just a good oil pump and a good twin plug ignition and rebuild gaskets as Pauls engine still has good cams and rockers. Now who has the time-skill and tools to do this ? ( probably many that have chimed in so far do ). Of course the entire oil cooling system would have to be sonic cleaned but when done this car would have way more grunt and have more life expectancy than it did. With a good induction system it was around 500@ the wheels @ 1 bar. Engine was 3% to 4% all cylinders prior to the start up failure.The failure was it blew out a spark plug upon start up so that plug thread would need to be time certed. Some think it was a Motec failure that was the cause. It was Norwood build about 20 years 6K miles ago for AMAC a previous Pelican member who's posts on this motor are still available here. For someone who has rebuilt a 930 motor before this rebuild should be Da ja Vue. Bad time for a project but if someone could get this on the road for well under $50K ( if Paul would take less as many suggest he should consider at this bad time ) ) plus the time to do it, maybe the best deal to be around for quite some time for someone that wants turbo poowaaaa that even Raw might respect.
