if everything is legit, its a nice motor. persoonally i would piece together my own kit though. watch out though, he only has 7 feedbacks. not too trustworthy for somehting that expensive to buy from ebay IMO.

i would take it if everything is in order, but, buying a built engine/turbo kinda takes the fun out of everything

But it puts the fun back in it when you realize how much $$ you saved. I would say go for it.

what kind of mystery manifold is running and what size downpipe?

depends on how much its for, notice there's a reserve, i bet that reserve is set higher than california's current debt with arnold in office

im too lazy to read, i just saw the "comes with manifold and downpipe" and the fact it had a reserve.

If the manifold and downpipe are a maxrev set and the turbo is a piece of garbage, the nthat setup is definatly NOT worth 5 grand.

I dont know im just real anti buying motors from strangers. I got scammed on a supposodly built block that ended up being a piece of ****. I took a big loss and now I would rather spend the extra $ and have the work done myself and know that it is done right then save some $ on a setup from a complete stranger.

Plus the guy only has 7 feedback, sunds shady for such a high priced item. I mean do you even now what kind of Turbo/donwpipe hes got? Find out the details, but I woudln't do it, sounds too risky and 5k is alot of $ to be throwing around.

I mean you can pick up an ls block for like $200, For 5k i thin i could build a pretty nice motor and put together a desent kit, but im just ****.
