FS: 1973 911T motor with matching 915 transaxle (SoCal, Aliso Viejo)

For sale a 2,341cc flat-six and Type 915 five-speed manual transmission were removed from a 1973 Porsche 911T that was being modified with a 993 powertrain. The engine is mechanically fuel injected and retains ignition, oiling, exhaust, and intake systems. In December, the engine was inspected by Sleepers Speed Shop in Costa Mesa, California, where leak-down and compression tests were also performed. The engine is in my garage in Aliso Viejo, California.
If you have any questions please let me know! I am
Looking to get $20k for the complete running engine and transmission.

Hello. I would like to know if your engine is still available for sale.
Thank You

Sorry for the delayed response, yes! it is still for sale.

What is the number on the case ?

You mention that the engine has had leak down and compression tests performed. How about posting the numbers?

@ peko - case number is *6130915*

@ gruen911 the leak down and compression results (sleepers speed shop, 12/11/19)
Compression Test: (Performed At 10 Revolutions)
Cylinder #1 - 135psi
Cylinder #2 - 130psi
Cylinder #3 - 131psi
Cylinder #4 - 139psi
Cylinder #5 - 130psi
Cylinder #6 - 120psi

Cylinder Leakdown:
Cylinder #1 - 25%
Cylinder #2 - 17%
Cylinder #3 - 18%
Cylinder #4 - 20%
Cylinder #5 - 63%
Cylinder #6 - 55%

Valve adjustment was recommended to improve the numbers.

My wife wants it out of the garage, so I’m a bit more motivated now. 🤦🏻*♂️

Kami,
Maybe I am not reading these numbers correctly, but the leak down numbers are awful. A freshly rebuilt engine will normally have 2-3% leak down numbers. A good engine should have all cylinders below 12% or so. 20% is borderline. Your #5 and #6 cylinders 55% and 63%! The motor is unusable as is, and likely needs a full rebuild. In view of this, your ask price of $20k is very unrealistic for an engine that will need another $10-15k thrown at it to make it usable. Just as a reality check, plug and play 2.2S and 2.4S motors with complete MFI set-up can be had for mid $20's...
