Price check for engine

[Andy 74]

Hi all
Im trying to get an indication of what I would expect to pay for a core engine from '66 or '67. Any ideas?
Cheers

Our shop recently picked up a complete core motor and trans from a 67, along with a 912 tranny for $4500. Transmissions turn with some work, motor does not turn over, carb linkage rusted etc.

I thought it was a good deal. Hope this helps.

That definitely helps. Thanks so much

Interesting that the prices of engines have remained relatively stable while the cars have gone through the roof.

This may be a smoking deal. Often the aluminum engine case is that much alone. The trans could be 500 to 1000 by itself. However, there are asking prices, and sold-for prices.

Thanks I thought it was a good deal... happened to find it on Ebay just minutes after it was posted... Turned out the guy lives about 30 minutes from me so I got some cash and made the deal! Looks like the guy accidentally relisted it @ $3500 and ended the auction, he's got a 74 engine too... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Porsche...p2047675.l2557

Turns out this gentleman has been trying to sell a pretty nice '65 ex-racer for $350K and has a Paul Neuman '74 race car he's trying to sell for $750K, might ring some bells... nice guy though, good to deal with.
