Instant-G 3.6 ltr. "crate motor"

Quick Overview:  These engines are USED engines, not new, not rebuilt, but have been tested.  Parts which need replacement have been replaced, i.e. oil filter on 993 engines.  They are neither rebuilt nor refurbished and we do not represent them as such.  Please read the warranty statement carefully with respect to used engines.


 

As you may know, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford and many after market manufacturers offer american engines as "crate" motors.  This avoids people having to find an engine, make modifications, test and tune ext.

This gave us the idea for a similar service on 3.6 motors.

We

When the customer receives the engine along with the conversion kit, it is ready to go in, and the conversion time and cost on his end is reduced.  The total is a bit higher up front but the hassle factor of getting an unknown motor may well make it worth it.  Installation should be under 10 hours since it's a matter of bolting in the engine and connecting wires and fuel lines.  Obviously, our time is worth something, so the cost includes about $500-600 for this service as it is quite time consuming, and, more importantly we do the legwork AND WE TAKE ALL THE RISK.  On the other hand it saves a fair amount on your end since the bugs have all been worked out and accessories installed.

The customer selects the exhaust, and options, and we do the work.  Pricing depends on the options chosen.  We can also perform this service on motors the customers supply, and we can also install them in the car..

How do we do this?  Easy.  I own fourteen porsches, and five of them have 3.6s.  I drive them rarely, but it means that I can sell a motor in a car, then simply replace it when convenient.  The only engine that is not for sale is the one in my wife's race car.  That has to run!

Below is the story of one such motor.  We bought the motor at market rate, but it had leaky can boxes.  We then threw about 8 hours at the motor at our expense and fixed the leak, which is now starting to be quite common.  Not to mention the time it took to install and remove the motor. It would be difficult to find a similar motor for under $7K, then add parts and labor, and a valve adjust and it doesn't take long to exceed the $7850 it sold for.  Detailed pricing is in the attached chart.
