I know I will be criticized by most people here, but I bought the motor today for the full $200. The man I bought it from runs his own machine shop and had about 30 other engines (not porsche) for cores which I think he parts out or rebuilds and sells. He purchased the motor 1-2 years ago from another local dismantler as a core, but never got around to doing anything to it. Luckily this guy knows his stuff and had filled the cylinders with ATF/marvel mystery oil when he got it. He would not go lower than $200 as he bought it for more than that and was originally asking $300. I may have overpaid, unfortunately I buy on impulse (may bite me in the backside some day), but if it wasn't for that I would not be the proud owner of an '84 right now. My friend is dropping off the motor tomorrow, hopefully I can start some teardown. The exhaust manifolds look pretty good, not sure what they are worth though.
