I was going to post this in the market place forum but suspect the experts reside here.

I was selling a stripped targa chassis but ended up swapping it to a friend in exchange for a number of parts which included a complete but disassembled 1977 2.7 911/85 engine. This got the chassis out of my precious work shop space which was a big issue.


The engine was said to have been taken apart due to pulled head studs. Most studs have time certs, and have evidence of what appears to be a bolt extractor. There is a weld repair at one chain ramp bolt, there is a crack at one rear engine mount stud.

Upon visual inspection the crankshaft journals all appear good with no observable damage, all other rotating internals look good as well, though nothing mic'd yet for verification.

Cylinders are badly scored and I suspect this engine was an oil burner. Ring lands are beat.

It's complete from air box to drain plug, release bearing to muffler.

It's missing the engine tin but does have pressure fed tensioners and turbo lower valve covers.

Question is, due to the case issues and scrap pistons/cylinders is this better sold in parts or is it still worth keeping together as a package for someone to rebuild?

Any idea of value?

EDIT: NOT parting out
