Damm shame about your 912. WFBowen has a good point, you need to spend a lot of time and effort to part a car out for more than you can sell a running car for. And even then you have the empty hulk to deal with and there isn’t a big calling for stripped SWB tubs.

How much work to get it running/ drivable? Ugly and running is better than ugly and DOA. Don’t feel bad for getting in so deep on the car; it isn’t uncommon to have more in them than they could be sold for.

To your question, I have bought complete motors for $160 on up to the $5000 parts only rebuild on the one in the car now. (Caution, opinion to follow) If your motor is good and TESTS good as well, you should be able to get $2000 or so for it to the right person on the east coast. It is important that the motor be able to be run and tested to get max $. Anything other than that and it is a blind shot and there and lots of them to pick from.
