I have plenty of parts but it wont be cost effective to buy known good parts from me. Your best bet is finding a core engine and popping it open and looking for the parts that need replaced(Likely a rotor and a housing).

Doc, I have an engine to sell you

I can guarantee everything will be re-useable but at least I'm local.

$1000 delivered for a short block..

First off, props for being willing to learn. The DVD helps, but doesn't cover everything. Clearancing all the seals is extremely important and a lot of people neglect to do this. Take your time, read as much as you can. You might want to practice putting together a junk motor first.

I have been build transmissions for a while now and have that down. Time to build a engine. I think I will make it a Meth AI system. I have been following that thread for a while on the evil forum for a while. Sound like it will beat the HEAT issue. Not looking to make a HP queen just something fun.........MAYBE I will put into a 280zx what a hoot that would be. Just looking to use my engineering education god knows I never use it at work

Just buy several of the repair books and the factory repair book .Use that for a detail guide .Then you will have someting in front of you to go to as you work .Watching a vid will help but are not as handy as turning a page to see a needed detail .
