This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was at metal scrap yard weighing my car 2450 lbs.. Guy told me to go see mechanic as they have a Porsche engine in a shed. Turns out to be a 996 3.4L. "I think it was running when removed from wreck". "I think they'll sell it for a couple of hundred" Can this fit in my 1984 911? What's it worth for resale or parts? Also looks like front wheel drive case? Or rear differental? Engine # is 9961041391R3.4L # on Case 70D0263921G and also decal that has 4WD 1.211 ratio. Think case is Porsche part? Any info on this would be helpful. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I think , for a couple of hundred..... you should buy it !!!!! Use it or sell it.The whole lump or parts. A working P engine for a couple of hundreds...naturally no one knows whats the real story.

POST 3Original post

no kidding.. Buy the damn thing. even at $1k is a deal. if you dont..let me know where and Ill come get it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was told that serial is a low # so I'm guessing it's from a C2.

POST 6Original post

I know some body looking for a 3.4 996 engine I don't think you will have any luck selling parts. pm me we can talk. Ferd

POST 7Original post

If you don't want this one I really need it for my 996 with 3.4L. Could save my bank account. PM or email with info. Thanks!

POST 8Original post

I think I heard of someone doing this, but really it should be considered impossible. You would spend enough money to buy a real 996 *and* another 3.2 Carrera I would think.
