My bad I was tired last night, the engine was a Broadfoot engine. I've seen them associated with several engines in Porsches, but I have no first hand information on their quality.

Sounds like you a less than perfect experience!

They burned a couple of guys in the 944 Cup series and had a poor reputation. My own experience cemented that.

Didn't they also change their name to Autosport (presumably due to less than stellar reputation?)?

They used to sell 944 engines on ebay for ~$3500.

This was all 5+ years ago so maybe things have changed.

The thing I didn't get is the seller showed me an invoice from Broadfoot that showed a line for an eBay pre purchase of the 2.7l engine of about $7K????? Wow. The rest of the invoice was just the engine swap cost.

I have not idea of the internals but $7K would have to have a bunch of work done to it!

2.7's were a one year motor, and have several one off, more expensive parts. One more reason to avoid a 2.7L car. Even so, that's really expensive.
