[CraigW]

[KIDDLE]

They're in the back, that's what makes them different from normal cars!!!

Seriously - try Douglas Valley

or maybe Prestige Salvage in Leeds

[CraigW]

haha thank you chaps

Fitting one in to your 3.2 Craig?

yes I'd like to, saw a guy in gt porsche mag has an sc with a supercharged 993 engine in it.

My rebuild when I need to do it will be upwards of 3k i reckon, if i can get a 993 engine fitted for under 5 then i'd be very happy

Mike Johnson competes in the Open with a 993-engined SC. He works at Specialist Cars Malton, maybe useful to know if you need any advice.

Highly unlikely I reckon - when I was rebuilding mine I rang around the breakers for 993 engines, hardly any available the only one I found was over 5k plus VAT just for the engine.

In the end I decided I'd rsather have my own engine rebuilt for a similar (estimated) cost as I would then know exactly what I had, given the history of a "broken" engine would likely be a bit vague. Of course I actually had a 993 engine already so not quite the same situation.

Of course the estimate proved to be way off ...

[CraigW]

ah ok, i was only going on that article, he bought the engine for 4, fitted for 1

I've seen some for sale here and there - mainly ebay. Though agree they are few and far between.

As well as the breakers you could try:
