How much would a 996 GT3 crate engine cost?

mooty

do you really want to know?
my wild guess would be 35k if not more.

I was told 40k.

mooty

my 35k was a WILD guess.
40k, ugh. let's hope we don't blow one of these baby up!

Something funny: in 2001 when my wife was lightly bumped in her '91 turbo, the accident broke the crank pulley, so we had the engine pulled & inspected to ensure it was fine. Just in case it wasn't I called Porsche to get a price on a engine: $84,000 for a new Longblock! 54k for a rebuilt longblock from Porsche, with a $1k core charge. funny...scary too!

Oh ya, these engines are not cheap. Brand new go for around 48 K . Re-built, with the same warranty as new , a little over 26 K. If you have no core, or if core is bad, you pay close to 33 K.

Ouch !

Where are you guys getting this $48,000 number from?

JTW

Having just had mine replaced a couple months ago, I can tell you it's $35K.

RR

So that means that on the normal 996 Porsche was making at least $30,000 MORE on every 996 vs a GT3 and probably even more since the GT3 has a different (better, more expensive) tranny and suspension set up.

This all somehow makes no sense.

That 's what Porsche is quoting for a NEW motor. NOT Rebuilt. Call your local dealer and see what they say for $hits & giggles........

fahren affair

the dealer will quote $20k for the standard 3.6 mill, but with core exchange you can get them all-day-long for $8k or about $10k without. if the dealer says $40k figure half (best case).

A brand new '05 GT-3 motor runs $ 45,250; outright as of 9/30/05.

An '04 engine is $ 1 less.

cosmos

Why is the 04 $1k less????

That is crazy expensive, in 2001 rebuilt longblock NA 964 engines were available from various dealers for $7800USD (dealer cost + 15%), retail was around $15k. Similar deals are available for the $45k GT3 engines (i.e don't pay retail, shop around).
