Ran across a gentleman who is selling a 1963 super 90 engine from his "old porsche". selling engine only. Haven't seen it yet, all i know is that it has very low miles (he swapped in a carrera engine), weber carbs, and that he is asking 3200.00. I'm looking to see what everybodies opinion is about this engine and price and any pitfalls. He was very hard of hearing on phone and i wasn't able to ask alot of questions.I will verify case numbers when i see it.

A low mlage Super 90 is a great buy! It was th best push rod engine Porsche made to that date. Make sure it turns over by hand easily and the flywheel is not rusted up. Should have big Solex carbs as well. Good Luck
