Hey guys. I went to a local junk yard. There was a 01 max VQ30DE for real cheap. Seems to be in good condition. If I pick it up and part it, anyone interested in parts? 00VI and other stuff all appears to be in good condition.

01's had the DE-K, just to clear that up.

If it won't break your bank just to get it as a parts motor, then why not?

dude if you dont know...............I would make sure that engine is good because it alone is easily worth more. Thats dirt cheap man, I would jump on it if you have the resources, GL.

Visually, is there any way to make sure it runs? maybe a stupid question had to ask.

Remove the oil cap, smell and feel the oil
look for a crack IM. you could always pull a plug or two.

If so it's worth it. I thought about picking it up yesterday when i was in the cities.

No. this one has a broken timing chain cover and cracked oil pan. One I found is in fairmont.

Buy it, remove a '00VI kit', sell the injectors/misc sensors from it, assuming they're good, you could probably come out a touch bit ahead on all that.

Personally, I would buy it as a build engine, but for that, I wold pick up a VQ35.

on both pmohrs posts too.

Decided not to get it. I agree with NmexMAX, and wait till a good 3.5 bargain pops up in my area.
