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.

 

how much are they asking for it?

 

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?

they're asking 300 for it.
Worth it?

 

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.

 

Depends, is it worth it to you?

nah, i would ask the seller on some info. Honestly I wouldnt invest in something until i got all the info, like i said make sure u have all of the resources to make money off of this. GL.

 

maybe swap it in my 98 SE. but have no clue how. lol

 

This it?

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.
