All parts brandnew new unless otherwise specified, built by myself, I am very picky when it comes to my engines and I work at Pon Porsche in The Netherlands. I estimate power to be between 90 and 100 true Hp, built to last a very long time, never dynoed, it pushed my daily driven single cab close to an indicated 160 Km/h on a Porsche speedo with correct Porsche tire size. Runs 5W50 Mobil 1 as used in the GT3 and 996 Turbo's changed at 2000 Km intervalls usually sooner than that, every 500 Km for the first 2500 Km of its life. Comes with 996 fuel filter to be installed next to transmission. Engine will be shipped with new plugs, Bosch 145 points (stronger 6-cyl spring and nickel plated), oil, HP1 filter, valve adjustment, fresh genuine VW heater hoses and re-torqued heads. Small blemishes on tinware paintwork which I may or may not re-spray, I don't know at this point. This is a properly built, ultra reliable, very strong running engine that has cost me a lot of time, money and research, I'm looking for a good home for it for a reasonable price. Trade ins are welcome especially anything Type 4 high performance related, new 48 Ida's, Quaife lsd, serious Type 4 heads, Type 1 IRS pan with Dutch title, Remmele 180mm exhaust, just to name a few things. This engine is located in The Netherlands.
