On a serious note, GLWS. The buyer will have nothing but smiles after this engine swap

Yes, the engine in my Box cured me of wanting a 996.

This engine is a duplicate of what I have in my 2000 Boxster S that has 300 HP & 273 ft. lbs torque. See signature for parts list.

Do you get much piston slap with those JE pistons? My JE stuff always slapped like crazy on cold start (last car I had with JE was actually a honda del sol @ 450whp)

It would burn a little oil on start sometimes but I beat the living hell out of it for 50k miles, probably harder than i've beaten a car in my life, mostly out of spite to illustrate how garbage most engine builders in my area are. :ah::dance::dance::dance:

Zero in my car because when you have LN install the Nickilsil 3.6 L sleeves they supply Je pistons & rings made for it The engine I have for sale has the same parts from LN

Some of the internal parts!

If I had stupid amounts of money, I'd be so ****************ing down. But man, w/ labor and everything to get this set up, it's like buying 4-5 986s. But I suppose those 4-5 986s still won't compare to a 986 w/ this bad boy in it. GLWS. I wish I could be the guy considering this purchase lol

Hmm... did you lowball him perhaps? He seems a little firm on his price, not that it’s a bad price.

This was my understanding of our initial conversation :

"I need to read the Pelican Parts engine swap article very closely"

[jmitro]

no discussion of price. just expressing interest. But moving on now

[Racer Boy]

I also sent him a PM asking relevant questions about the engine, but he never responded to me, either. My guess is that he just never checks messages.

[jmitro]

nevermind....good luck with the sale

Have you tried advertising it on rennlist? I think you get a bigger audience there.

At this point, you might find a Boxster with a blown engine and install it. I think a car with a 3.6 in it will be a lot easier to sell then the engine itself. I work with a lot of shops that work on Porsches, and I haven't seen anyone put the money into a 986 Boxster in years. Five years ago yes, now nothing. The sad truth is that it is hard enough to get someone to do the basic needs on a 986, let alone an engine. Most just get scrapped now if the engine fails. You could probably get $20k for a nice 986S with the engine.

GLWS!

Nobody thinks to sell their Engine while it is still running well & buy a upgraded engine that will last longer than the car. Even if the car gets wrecked you just pull it & reinstall in next car.

Unfortunately I think Qmulus has made a really valid point. These cars are OLD and most if not all are in need, or soon to be in need, of a refresh (bushings, bearings, suspension, mounts, expansion tanks, paint, tops, etc). No one, or certainly not many, are willing to pay high dollar AND have to put in similar amounts on wear items to end up with a car that has no real uniqueness about it. While we as enthusiasts love these cars I don't think many of us are willing to put the kind of money you are asking into a car that is and will be only worth half that amount or less. Sounds like you have a great engine and I hope you can find a buyer for it but I'm afraid the window is closing rapidly on these cars. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion and it's only that...my opinion. Good luck.
