flava you're a smart guy and been around this board long enough, im surprised you fell for something like this when you could've had a clean low mileaged de-k for couple hundred more.
this had stay away written all over it. first, nobody sells a rebuilt motor for 300, second, ge said "no clue" when you asked him about rebuilt internals........

mods need to ban seller

 

No point to ban until we get a response. Sucks flav.

 

At the time, i couldnt find any motors for a decent price. This popped up right as I needed one and wasnt too far from me. Yes, there were some red flags but I let my impatience get the better of me.
As far as it being too cheap to be good, Ive bought a motor before for 300, 460 shipped that only had 35k on it.

 

Yup, does suck,... for me at least. He was able to unload a huge huck of metal for 300.00
and I dont think he will post up,....

I'm surprised you even settle for a DE over a DEK. I'm sure there are salvageyards around your area with DEK's for sub $700. That wasn't that much more considering the $300 you paid along with another $100 for gas and time off. Engines are always listed on ebay and shipped right to your door. I've seen DEK's go for as low as $500 shipped. what happened to your motor tho? thought you had a fresh swap......

overall, you made it out ok in all honesty. I picked up a "5spd swap" kit from this org a while back for upward of $1400 shipped. seller claimed M/T ECU, good clutch and good trans. i ended up putting it in the car two years down the line, not only it was not a full kit, the ECU ended up being an auto, the spec clutch went out in 5,000 miles and the trans had a bad head bearing to begin with. and IRRC his .org name was "b00b"

 

No fresh swap, I swapped a while back, right before I went SCed. I blew the head gasket on that motor doing some HWY runs.
Had considered the DEK a while back, but dont feel like dealing with obtaining different coils, and inj. and etc. when the DE does just fine for me.
