Wow, talk about a project that continues to keep on giving (ulcers!)...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I went this weekend to pick up my 3.0 liter engine that I had found for The Beast several weeks ago. Instead of finding a complete motor, I found the thing in pieces. The picture that had been sent to me was from days before someone had taken it apart. Not even a longblock. More like a short to mid block. The seller also said he would need to owe me some parts since he hadn't found all the boxes of parts in his garage. After looking at it, I declined the motor. I had sent a $50 check to hold the motor, and he gave the money back to me. I wonder why they would misrepresent the condition of the engine? One of the reasons I want an intact engine is that I get to disassemble it and inspect pieces as I go, versus digging through a hunk of junk in oily cardboard boxes. Several times during the course of my negotitations I asked about the motor. That's how I got the picture. Oh well....back to looking for an engine.....
