tazzieman Posted 28August, 2016 Report Share Posted 28August, 2016 Indeed a generous offer. But beware re-stamped case fraud. Ensure if found , the engine has paperwork history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best for the search! Great idea. Thanks mate. Indeed a generous offer. But beware re-stamped case fraud. Ensure if found , the engine has paperwork history.Absolutely! My 911E already has a later model 3.0L engine that was restamped by NSW Police following insurance fraud by the PO. I think one fraudulent engine is enough for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 28August, 2016 Report Share Posted 28August, 2016 There's a dude in Wantirna who breaks 911's, not sure of his name but I do recall he's been around for many many years, so it may be worth hunting him down and asking if he has it. Long shot, but gotta be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 28August, 2016 Report Share Posted 28August, 2016 Mike Tankard? That name doesn't ring a bell. When I was after some bits for mine his details came up on gumtree, a few photos of what is clearly a warehouse full of 911's in various states of undress, many up on racks. I remember reading that this chap is particularly hard to get hold of, seems to work very odd hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually met David a couple of weeks ago - he bought a 3.2L engine off me. He is a bloody nice bloke! Unfortunately, he doesn't have my engine. I checked!

TrevMcRev Posted 30August, 2016 Report Share Posted 30August, 2016 Do you know if that engine made to Aus with the car when imported?Or could it still be in Cali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonoF Posted 30August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 30August, 2016 http://www.typ901.org/showthread.php?t=7266Thanks mate. Ash and I have spoken several times. His engine is 80 numbers off my original engine. So close, yet so far away. Do you know if that engine made to Aus with the car when imported?Or could it still be in Cali?Hi TrevI tried to chase down the old import approval papers via the Department of Infrastructure. They couldn't find the papers identifying the engine in the imported car. So the engine could hav made it here. Or might still be in Cali. But I strongly suspect it is here because he car underwent its RADICAL transformation in Australia. I reckon the PO chucked in the worked 3.0L during the transformation.

Coastr Posted 30August, 2016 Report Share Posted 30August, 2016 The state registration papers would be better than the import approval. You could ask the previously registered state if the engine number changed during rego. Assuming that is, that it had continuous registration. If you found a change in number in a specific state, that would give you a starting point for where the switch happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonoF Posted 12January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 12January, 2017 On the hunt for you mate. I have a knack for finding the seemingly impossible. See how we go. ?Thanks mate, but I very unfortunately had to sell the 911E project - I was on the brink of being permanently thrown out of the house by my wife due to my propensity to buy project cars and bikes without her permission.... But I am sure @P-Kay (he is the lucky new owner that snapped up my project) would be stoked if you found this engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
