Second choice would be a GM crate engine.

Thanks, I've tried to keep it in good shape and in good working order. I don't thrash it and the paint is fair although last year I gave it my first attempt at painting a two stage paint/clear by re-doing the hood. I just did the front grill and need to tackle the top of the cap next. I keep telling myself it's all skill building whenever I get around to painting the 912's and the 911 back to its original color.
I kinda like the idea of a rebuild but in talking to a local buddy who is also a mechanic, our local machining options have dwindled to nothing. He might have a line on a GM crate engine, if so I can experiment with the original. I like the warranties offered by the GM crates but they are more spendy sort of. My smog is due this Nov so I'll get an idea where it stands.
Cheers
