    grab it....

    i payed 100 for a second hand motor and put a engine kit thorough it (just the gaskets) and it coasted me another 150. i also did all the work my self. if this guy is legit and have receipts than i would call it a bargain. also ask for a compression test.

    well the car the engine is in also has new indicators brand new gaurds that havent even been sprayed yet a recond auto (yuck hate autos) and power windows i could use a new gaurd (dented driver side) and i dont have power windows so it would be a nice addition to what ive done inside the car already

    mind if i add you as a friend on here??
