1971 2.2ltr engine complete

[lonewolf]

Thinking of selling this engine complete
2.2 with 70000 miles on it . clean,zeniths,heat exchangers are in excellent condition even for a 40 year old car.
over 100psi oil pressure cold .
would 4000.00 complete from clutch to muffler be a fair price for one of these?

Too much or too little?

I just bought a good running 2.0, with Zeniths, a rebuild 901 and a 901 core for $2000 from a guy in Kimberly, so $4000.00 fo unrebuilt is probably high. Another data point, I paid $3500.00 for a complete running 2.4 with original MFI about 3 years ago.

Well , just saw a 2.4 long block with no induction or exhaust or distributor or fan go for 2000.00

[rvanderpyl]

The 2.0 was smoking deal, the 2.4 more typical I think. So $3000.00 for yours maybe?

[lonewolf]

I agree the 2.0 was a smoking deal

fans ,alt with housing go for 300+
zeniths and these are clean 500+
the heat exchangers are excellent say 600
muffler 200
nevermind distr, heater backdate stuff , air cleaner housing, harness ,plug wires,,mount,

maybe better to part out but it runs good so......

I almost bought Andrews 3.0 CIS euro complete for $4500 last christmas. He was to pay for a proper leakdown test.

To me without a proper leakdown test it ain't worth a pinch of raccoon poop. (well it is... but it's a core.)

Unfortunately, the 2.2T is about the least desireable 911 engine out there. The problem is that it's a difficult engine to rebuild and upgrade inexpensively:
- Zenith carbs, not Webers
- non-counter weighted crank
- cast cylinders
- small 32mm port heads
- weaker 3/4R case

70,000 miles is getting long in the tooth for an early 2.2 - valve guide technology wasn't what it is today.

As Mark mentioned above, I sold a Euro 3.0 SC with proven leakdown and compression for about $4,300. I'd put his in the $2,000 range for a running engine - you could probably part it for more, but obviously more hassle.
