Have the Opportunity to purchase a GEX built 2.0 liter out of a 74 914 that was involved if a front end wreck.....may buy the complete car depending on $$$$.
The engine has a little over 2,000 miles on it and has the 2100 cc, Power Master upgrade - Pick up the additional HP to climb hills, Electronic Balancing - For longer life and a smooth running engine. Counterweighted Crankshaft - Allows engine to run smoother and ultimately to last longer. alt Maxi Oil Pump - Closer tolerances than a stock pump, provides added volume and increased oil pressure during low speed operation. high output alternator and the Compufire Ignition. The engine starts and runs fine, but no longer has any warranty on it. trying to come up with a value, because the guys wife is tried of looking at it and he just wants it gone. (think its the cause of many arguments) I haven't heard anything good or bad regarding GEX and their quality. Anyone have info on GEX? Thanks |

GEX rebuilt engines
See above link...based on that quick read unless it came with a transferable warranty in writing and it cost a grand or so, I'd pass. |

GEX rebuilt engines See above link...based on that quick read unless it came with a transferable warranty in writing and it cost a grand or so, I'd pass. Thanks all for the input. I did what Mueller suggested and offered the seller a grand for the car, three boxes of parts (including EFI parts) two tatga's (one of them a Saratoga) the GEX engine and 5 of the four lug Fuchs. Not sure if the Fuchs are orig or rep but if I can purchase at this price don't think it really matters. Car also has the Blaunkpundt radio as well. As one of the members said here "she's got his balls in her purse" We will see what happens .... Thanks again for the help...GEX really doesn't have to good of a rep..... |
