I have an opportunity to purchase a one owner 1971 911T for 5k from a family member. The car is in decent shape, but was parked for 2years because it leaked oil so bad. I have decided to purchase the car and restore it to original condition. It has the numbers matching 2.2 and the engine has never been opened. I talked to a local engine rebuilder and he said that because of the mag case he could not guarantee against oil leaks, even after an $8k rebuild. This is scaring me a little. Should I be hesitant about the mag case???

I have also thought of just buying a crate engine and storing the original, but being new to the porsche world I am not having much luck loctating a dealer. sooo my questions:

1. Should I be concerned about the mag case?

2. Can anyone recommend a crate motor and dealer?

3. If I spend the $$$ for the rebiuld on the original motor, will it last? or start leaking after 12k miles?
