1979 Porsche 928

Description

I have a 1979 Porsche 928 that needs an engine. I can tow it to you. Just need estimates. Parts: Steps Step 1 Install the new engine. Using the hoist, slowly lower the new motor into position. The first connection should be the transmission, making sure that the drive shaft matches up with the transmission's input shaft. Secure the bolts to the transmission, then install the motor mounts. New mounts should be used--never reuse old motor mounts. With the motor in place, begin attaching the exhaust manifold and cooling system. The radiator and hoses should be connected before the belts and accessories. Step 2 Reinstall the vacuum and fuel lines, and the throttle cables and accessories. Be sure to secure them well, as vacuum and fuel pressure are critical. The engine computer, if available, can be reused from the old motor if they are the same type and model of engine, with the same kind of intake (fuel injection). Most manufacturers will not supply a new computer with inexpensive aftermarket engines. Step 3 Reinstall the air intake manifold, battery, and fan belts. New "crate" engines, or fully assembled mail-order engines, come with all of the necessary intake parts already installed. Some manufacturers will skimp on this, and not include simple things like screws or intake gaskets. It is possible to reuse parts from the old engine, but they should be cleaned and inspected carefully beforehand. Step 4 Refill all of the fluids, and any "break-in" fluids recommended by the manufacturer. Doublecheck any connection points, and do not crank the engine until everything has been inspected completely. There will not be any fuel in the line until the pump is worked for a few minutes. When cranking a new motor for the first time, don't rev the engine over 2000 rpm's for at least it's first hour, and to change the oil once after the first 500 miles. Source:
