I appreciate everyone's input and I like the $12k estimate.

As much as I'd like to drop a 3.0 into it, I'd be afraid of the snowball effect...."while I have the engine out, now's the time to repaint and while I'm at that, reanodize and chrome the trim work...."

Karl- My 912E would have been the clone of your former silver 912E when it was new. Looks good in silver. It's a shame that mine was repainted blue in it's past.
