i got a 88 civic hatchback as you can see in my avatar yesterday someone offered me a gsr motor and ecu and tranny and axels and everything running motor and a gsr front end .. i only paid 130$ for my car my car was 100$ and head gasket was 30$ car runs and drives fine but should i trade it?????

 

whatever you do, run the numbers on the engine to make sure it's not stolen

 

Mode of transportation vs.... new motor.....

Think about it....can you drop this motor into something...or is this trade for your only reliable car....hehehe

 

Where do you look up stolen motors?

i have to agree with this guy.....unless You have 2 cars and you can afford to swing it....then go for it...But practically before desire homie...

 

For $130 a car, I'd be suprised if he didn't have more than two cars.

Considering its hard to sell an EF for over 2g's, if the motor doesn't need much work, it's worth it. If you can, compression & leak-down test it. Rip as much of it apart if you can. ECU/axles can cover your cost on the car, the block can do $700, head/mani a good $750, etc. If you have an extra $2k, buy another car, build the motor (assuming it needs pistons/etc), and have fun.
