Need info about 996 engines.....

[Ed scuba]

I was at metal scrap yard weighing my car 2450 lbs.. Guy told me to go see mechanic as they have a Porsche engine in a shed. Turns out to be a 996 3.4L. "I think it was running when removed from wreck". "I think they'll sell it for a couple of hundred"
Can this fit in my 1984 911?
What's it worth for resale or parts?
Also looks like front wheel drive case? Or rear differental?

Engine # is 9961041391R3.4L
# on Case 70D0263921G and also decal that has 4WD 1.211 ratio.
Think case is Porsche part?

Any info on this would be helpful. Thanks

I think , for a couple of hundred..... you should buy it !!!!!
Use it or sell it.The whole lump or parts.
A working P engine for a couple of hundreds...naturally no one knows whats the real story.

Do you think it came from a C4?

I was told that serial is a low # so I'm guessing it's from a C2.

I know some body looking for a 3.4 996 engine I don't think you will have any luck selling parts. pm me we can talk. Ferd

If you don't want this one I really need it for my 996 with 3.4L. Could save my bank account.

PM or email with info. Thanks!

I think I heard of someone doing this, but really it should be considered impossible. You would spend enough money to buy a real 996 *and* another 3.2 Carrera I would think.
