That's because you tried to chew me down more and I had someone come in that needed an engine close by that picked it up. That was an engine I made a great deal to get. Just spend the extra money and get the car back on the road instead of trying to lowball everyone and never going through with it.

If the engine block is good and you can't sell it let me know and maybe we can work something out. I keep spare engines in stock and have 3 right now.

Regards,
Maurice

i think everyone sees my point. again, if anyone feels this is TOO much, make me an offer.

Bump for a good seller.

I'd see this motor as a good core for a performance build. It will need to be torn down because of the low compression, and while it's apart, would be easy to either hone or bore for forged pistons. Install forged rods and you've got a shortblock that's ready for long dependable service, plus you have a spare complete head and the other listed parts that you can build at your leisure, and then sell your full long or short block in running condition, or keep them for spares...

Obviously it has a lower value than a drop in motor with no issues, and the seller seems willing to take that into account. Just need to find the right person who needs what he's selling.

Good luck!

and if im not wrong i asked you to do a compression test and leak down test and you didn't even know how and you could not even do it because you had to buy the motor from a rolled car. so why would i want to pay for something that maybe just best totally bad?

mjo & Mike1023, please take this to pm or start your own thread, this has NOTHING to do with my for sale.
