Recommendations: Engine and Gear Box rebuild Porsche 912 in Melbourne

[mullep2]

Could anyone recommend a relatable / honest mechanic to rebuild a motor or gear box for 912? 
 

What should I be expecting (rough ball park) for this to cost.?

 

thanks

I would use Stephen Harrison at RRR for a rebuild for anything Porker aircooled related.  He is amazing, honest and very good with his work. He did work to the 356 years ago (before we bought it) and it is still great.

Engines are surprisingly expensive unfortunately, and 911/912 share the same transaxles which are costly to rebuild.

I'm going to say $25K, for a fully rebuilt engine and a rebuilt transaxle.

 My 912 engine rebuild 6 years ago was $10-11k, but that included the badly damaged heads being repaired from some valves beating the hell out of them...and the shop took pity on me.

A friend had a quote of $25k from 'a very well known Porsche shop in Sydney' a year ago JUST for a 912 engine rebuild. It pays to shop around
