Reviving this thread. I found a fresh 915 and 3.0 engine for my hot rod project so it looks like I'll be selling my '75 915 and 2.7 combo soon. I know I'm breaking up a numbers matching car but my car is a hot rod and I don't have the room or funds to "pickle" the motor for the next guy.

The trans has a weak 3rd syncro but it's drivable as long as you don't try speedshifting it. The 2.7 runs great but it's leaky - it needs the "triangle of death" resealed as well as it looks like the valve covers are a bit leaky. It is well maintained and didn't have pulled or broken studs during the last valve adjust 2-years ago. I haven't done comp or leakdown but I suspect it'd be good as the car has good power and smooth idle/acceleration. Both trans and engine could be cleaned, resealed and used as-is for a driver.

Any ideas on the value? I'd like to sell it as one unit trans/engine ready to drop in including CIS and exhaust.
