- By UK standards that is way over the top, you can get an exchange engine for UKP600-800, although it does depend on condition. You could fly to England, pick up an engine and have a good holiday with

- If that price includes the labor of removing and replacing the engine, the complete rebuild, as well as starting it, re-torquing the head, re-adjusting the valves, and generally getting it in tune a

- Well, $3600 isn't cheap by any means, but it isn't way out of line either. Last Engine rebuild and replace I had done for me (I do my own now) was 5 years ago, and cost me $2600 in total - including

- Too much. 2 years ago I paid $2500 for R and R of my 4 cyl MGB engine. This was a situation where I dropped off the broken car and pickup a running car. Full rebuild. This year I had an engine rebui

- Hi William, If the engine is so much worn down, I'd opt for an rebuilt engine from a trusworthy source. Cheeers, Hans Hello, Due to an email snafu and bankruptcy of my isp, I have neither been able t

- I would tend to agree. I have nearly $1000 in my 1500 rebuild, and the engine is not even assembled yet. And I am doing all that labor. William, find a friend that might help you do the reassembley e

- I know this is not a Porsche list but to be fair to the shop in question $8000 _might_ be reasonable for a Porsche 6 cylinder rebuild. Depending on the model and what you replace those motors get ver
