Hey Guys,
Do you have any pointers on where to look for a TIV engine ?
Preferrably one that is in running order and that does not need a rebuild soon.
Mark's Bugbarn had a 1.7 Bus engine for sale, he was asking 1500 for it IIRC. Would that be a reasonable price ?
Thanks,
Rob.

Even though I like Mark but that price is a little high for 1.7.
Sandeep got a better deal.
BTW....was good seeing you again today.

Hi Rob,
I got mine from a guy in Montreal who hit a tree with his 914. Including shipping, I got the longblock delivered for $1300.
I was just at the right place at the right time. Why don't you try the Porsche clubs in the area ? Ottawa, Montreal ect ?
I'll keep an eye out aswell and let you know if I see anything.

Hey Alex,
Was good seeing you too !
Can't wait to see your car finished, that's going to be a sweet ride !!
Sandeep, thanks. Stupid question: would a 914 engine be a direct bolt-in ? I assume you don't have to change the cooling system ?
Thanks,
Rob.

Rob,
Here's a guy in Oshawa .. Mike's 914s http://members.tripod.com/mike4g/
I think he had a running 1.8l complete for $1600 IIRC when I was looking for one.
He said at the time he had alot of engines .. runners and cores. His contact information is on his web page.
