man! this thing is perfect. Absolutely spotless. All the hose fittings are pretty and shiny adodized gold. No sign of varninh under the valve cover, just perfectly bare metal. Ok I'll stop :-) this is a motor I got with 18K miles on it for $425 shipped. I am just so happy to get a god deal for once.

Damn. That's a steal! Congrats.

Btw, who did you buy it from? A yard, or private party?

a yard in N.C. found it on www.car-part.com They have had it for a long time and nobody wanted it. so she did not even try to give me the $525 +shipping as the add said. She came right out with $425 shipped.

Thats a great deal...what year is it out of ??

Any recrods from the car to prove it has 18K miles on it, take the oil cap off and look in the engine

did that. Spotless. I have a Vin # I could do a carfax, but it is unmisstakenly new. It is out of a 97. been sitting a long time so I am installing a new front and rear main seal as well as swapping the intake gasket when I install my MEVI. so that should take car of any question on old seals.
