Right now MM has five eBay auctions for 911 engines. They offer, for example, a "Remanufactured 2.7 Porsche 911 Motor" for $2995 (your engine core). Detail print: "Remanufactured" does not mean new p&c, but "clean and inspect".

Their feed back is 100% positive at 622. To calculate this 100%, eBay only considers transactions for the last 12 months. There are 27 transactions the past year with eBay user motormeisterinc, all as buyer none as seller. The last time they sold anything shows as April '05.

They look attractive on eBay. That's how they will cover costs on the new facility for next few weeks.
