The cheapest way out is a used motor, but if one goes that route the "while you're in there" costs can add up quickly. (AOS, clutch, flywheel, water pump, rollers, motor mount, RMS, Jakes IMS, coolant tank, hoses, etc can easily cost as much as the used motor).

Here's a quote I obtained for just the motor delivered to my shop.

There is a core charge on the engines so if you decide to go with an engine that is not your original, you will not be able to have your core charge refunded. Here are some prices to give you an idea:

2.7 motor $12,690 with a core charge of $3,333

3.2 motor $12,690 with a core charge of $2,620

3.4 motor $11,160 with a core charge of $6,765

3.6 motor with a power kit $15,415 with a core charge of $3,300

Shipping an engine would vary on some options but should be around the $250-$300 range.

Since we are a Porsche dealership, these are genuine factory Porsche parts.
Those are prices for rebuilt engines? Rebuilt with the extras you mention at the top?
