FS: 2.7L Carrera 'Plus' Hot Rod Street/Track Longblock/Engine

I bought this a few years ago from Randy Webb when he was leaving the country (from Florida to Dubai). I don't have paperwork on it, as he was many states away, and all packed up. I do have the info he emailed me about the engine, for what that is worth.

2.7L based on 4R case
• Boat-tailed Webs
• Dilivar Studs, Case savers
• Built by John Forbes at Black Forest Racing in South Florida
• Heads and intake Manifolds ported by Peter Dawe (Worked for Andial and Mark Donohue/Penske)
o Intake manifold mounting holes slotted to allow sliding outward for more port bias
• I don’t have spec’s on the valves and vave job
• MFI ‘S’ Cams
• 930 Oil Pump
• Mechanical Chain tensioners, but I have (and can include depending on price - hydraulic tensioners and covers, etc)
• 9:1 Compression ratio

Also includes
• Fan shroud – OK condition, one smaller crack
• Fan housing
• Fan with some minor corrosion
• Alternator and air director
• CMW Billet Valve Covers
• Oil Thermostat
• Center Carb Linkage (missing one carb mount, may find before sale)
• 2 throttle pulls
• Fuel hardline
• Hardware for valve and cam covers

Can include (depending on Price)
• 2.7L Distributor – Bosch number 0 231 184 001

I am happy to plastic wrap it and crate it for the buyer (I have lots of experience shipping), with reasonable crating fee (just cover supplies, whatever those are if I have to buy wood, etc). I can also ship by fedex freight easily, or whatever service the buyer prefers.

Considering the head and manifold work alone would cost around $3-4k, not to mention the carbs and case work, I am asking $4500 complete. I feel this is very fair, all things considered. I would be willing to part it out, but need to have some of the big items ‘pre-sold’ before I agree to strip it down. I know it’s worth much more in parts, but I prefer to let it all go at once.

Location is Colorado Springs, CO. Thought that was in my post info? I'll update it.

A friendly bump for what looks like a good deal. When I talked with Greg about this engine I learned that it has plugged injector ports that could be unplugged. This means the engine could be set up (with some work) to run MFI...and that would be a very cool engine. Just say'in.
Speedo

Carburetors are photo'ed, but I did not describe them. They are Weber 40 IDT's.

Yep - Like Lars said, the injector ports are epoxied closed, so they could be re-opened. One of those "nth" degree porting things.

Is this still available?

While I have gotten a number of inquiries, it is still available.

Oh, and because of your screen name - I also have a factory 914-6 engine mount and muffler mount I am selling!

Please email me photos of the exhaust hanger/boomerang. Tlg_porsche@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Email sent, and more PM's replied.

To clarify - this engine might be able to be bolted in (with the appropriate additional pieces) and run, but I would recommend pulling the heads to verify cylinder condition, etc and retiming the cams. It has been sitting for several years, so as a matter of course I would do that. Some might not, and like I said, I have oiled the cyls and cams and rockers when in my possession, but still.

More PM's - if anyone cannot see photos, or would like them emailed, please let me know.

The case serial number is photo'ed but I have gotten inquiries as to what it is - *6124137*

Deposit has been taken for the engine, so unless something falls through, I consider it sold.

Thanks for the interest.
