privatepang Posted 23September, 2016 Report Share Posted 23September, 2016 Curious what people's thoughts are on the rough value of a 2.7 out of a US 75 911S. Mine's leaking a bit through the case but it's had the chain tensioner upgrade, turbo valve covers, upgraded finned sump plate, dilivar head studs, fan upgrade to 11 blade, all CIS components (reconditioned fuel distributor and WUR). Airbox and regularly serviced since i've had it.Mileage is a bit of an unknown as my odometer only has 5 digits on it but it had 48000 miles last I checked. Have compression numbers somewhere which was taken about 1 year ago but none of the cylinders had numbers that were a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 29September, 2016 Report Share Posted 29September, 2016 how did you go with this? Any progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 29September, 2016 Report Share Posted 29September, 2016 I would think it was worth in the ball park of $10k. Depending on someones PPI. Everybody hates the poor old 2.7, but if you are looking for a 911 engine these days, it is slim pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruby82sc Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 Ditto to MFX. I'm rebuilding a '77 S matching # engine at the moment, it has the usual issues but nothing that can be repaired....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 5October, 2016 Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 If it's matching ( numbers) the shell , then consider keeping it, or at least the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privatepang Posted 5October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 US Import so i doubt it's going to be worth big money and i've already cut into the body to weld on new flares... Definitely considered keeping it but this project is costing me an arm and a leg so need to recoup costs somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 5October, 2016 Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 I'd consider selling trading renting other things first Irrespective of origin - original case worth keeping at very least. Strip motor sell parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonoF Posted 5October, 2016 Report Share Posted 5October, 2016 Ask @JonoFNever split the matching numbers engine from the chassis! 20 years down the track, some poor shmuck like me will buy it and then start looking for the original engine! If you need some extra cash, find the original 2.2L from my 1971 911E! A $5000 reward is on offer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
