I know this sounds crazy, but I "heard" that this guys has two GSR engines for sale and desperately needs money. Supposedly he will get rid of the for like 400 each. I don't know what it all comes with, I'm trying to get in touch with the dude. My question is what should I look for when buying this engine? Vin number? Condition? I'm very new at this, and kinda nervous. I just need to know how NOT to get ripped.

Thanks!

 

You get what you pay for.

 

so... what should i get for 400?

 

A stolen motor...

yea make sure that **** isnt hot...

and maybe try to do a compression test

 

that **** is stolen....someone lock this thread up...

 

how can i tell if it's stolen? i haven't even talked to the guy. i just "heard". i definitely don't want to buy something that is stolen.

 

If it isn't stolen, which I doubt, and is a complete engine then buy it.

 

Call the cops on the thief dude

try running the block number

 

do it the smart way...run the vin number for the engine... if it comes up stolen report it to the cops...if you catch a thief, you have my props and the backing of everyone else on this board!!!

and...if it comes up clean...a $400 dolla gsr motor is a damn good deal!

 

cool, so run the VIN number, then a compression test. anything else for a newbie buying a motor from a stranger?

 

ok here is the deal. I talked to my cousin. My cousin is friends with this guy. The guy works at a local performance shop and has MAD connections. My cuz is going to call the guy up tommorow to see if he will sell the engine/tranny/ecu and whatever for 400. Also he is going to find out what all comes with it, supposedly everything for a complete swap. So, where on the engine is the VIN, and how do I get it checked to see if it is hot.

THanks!

 

400 for a gsr b18c1?

get real people!

good luck finding a long block with 300,000 miles for 400 bucks.

well i'll check everything out in the next couple of days and i'll keep you guys posted on what the real deal is (wouldn't it be nice if this turns out to be legit? nice for me )

 

Hell if they come up not stolen, send me this guys # I'll buy all his extra engines tonight!!!
