well what kind of motor and for what price..? if it is a k20a2 for 2 grand something is up, but if it is a low end motor for a decent price and from a shop or a friend and not from some shady dealer, it should be legit.....there is also prolly a way to run the vin

Its a B18C1 for 1200... seems fishy. I just thought there was somewhere to check the vin number to see if its stolen or not

my buddy picked up a legit a fully built unsleeved b18c1 for the same price.
When I got mine I talked to the cop down my street. He told me as long as I have all that guy's info (full name, address, license #, phone #) and a clearly written out Bill of Sale I would be good. That way if you get busted you can show the cops your bill of sale and they will go looking for the other guy.
My bill of sale basically said who was selling the motor who was purchasing the motor, how many miles is on the motor, the block code, vin, and for how much with the date and both of our signatures.

run the vin# if it's clear, just buy it... make sure you do this ^^^. just in case. that's a hell of a deal. it's not impossible to find people who sell legit things this cheap. just rare.

even if u run the vin# you should still have a bill of sale. just b/c if it comes up clean now it might not be reported as stolen yet...

When you guys say "run the vin" do you mean check with the DMV or state patrol?

Yeah the whole getting caught with stolen motors that you thought were legit sucks. I got a d15b for free from someone and was drivin it home and got pulled over. I forgot to look at the vins first but the cop didn't forget to. Turns out the were ground off, that took a hell of a long time to explain, but I'm a good talker and got out of any trouble.
