Don't rule out a GT3 Cup motor.

I would simply be looking for the best condition engine in your price range. Type 964 or type 993 secondary to overall condition.

I do prefer 964 engines and OBD1 993 engines vs. OBD2 993 engines however they are so similar that you can just mix and match parts to come up with the package you desire.

Valve ajust time spent is nothing when measured against the time spent getting and keeping carbs happy on a 3.6.

The 993 induction system is art in motion and worry free.

If I would do it again, I would look for an engine, that need to be rebuild, and rebuild it. That way you know what you got.

I think that’s where Im headed. Im looking for an engine now that I can use maybe do a top end if needed and wait a while to recoop to open the case and do a bottom end rebuild. Seems like everything I find is about 80K on them. Thought about just building a 3.8 from parts but its seems to be a monumental task finding all the parts. Still on the hunt …

Might have a wiped bearing but I can't confirm until I open it up. Turn over freely by hand and isnt rough. Price was right. We shall see. Anyone know where one can get a service manual at a good price?
