Rebuilt engine options?

[78F350]

If you are looking at a lower budget and consider a used engine there are two vendors on eBay that I would feel comfortable buying an engine from:

• Quality Porsche Parts: - Currently no suitable 3.2L engine available
• Specialized German Recycling: -Currently only '03-'04 engines (DME 7.8)

In general I would not trust an eBay Boxster engine, but I have always been impressed with the quality and service from these two sellers.

I've done a lot of business with Quality P parts. transmission , trans shafts, bearing supports, some very nice low mileage heads etc. Great prices, good to great parts, fast shipping, never a issue.

While I agree with your sentiment that I'm unimpressed by Porsche's design, anyone who's ever owned an EJ motor (the Subaru) knows of its failure-prone nature as well. Head gasket and the propensity to catastrophically overheat being among the common culprits, in my own experience.

I have a EG33 from a 1992 SVX Subaru,.and it's a 4 cam engine,.and they use gears on the ends of the cam's and a belt to tie it all together and its a NON interference engine that produces 230 HP and 225 Lb ft of Torque ,.with a 7 main case and it is said to be bullet proof,.?..Its going into a 914 very soon !
