I personally would have bought the $500 ebay turbo kit first. Or the Magnum SOHC on ebay for $400 Thats 150Hp right there Or I would have bought both and had 225 Horse Power.

came out of a breeze... and honestly how many breezes do you know of that race around and beat the **** out of there motors... I mostly just see grandma's drive them... The place he got it from does make sure they run well and compression check them and do a leak down test hell they even give you the car-fax report of the car it came out of... and clean the block too... Hell of a deal in my opinion...

Josh did you ask them if they could get pics of the motor and if it had the manifolds and what not or is it just a long block???

I'm working on the wife about coming down sooner... seems she doesent mind shes going to run to missoula that weekend... shes still concerned your a serial killer though... shes like what if he gets mad at you... his arms are like huge and you wont be able to defend yourself... lol...

It wasa running Motor, only had 35,000 Miles on it. It was from a place that pulls motors and sells them all the time although I forgot their name and can't find em on ebay now they usually have a Magnum SOHC on there every week or so.

I did find an R/T SOHC for $350 thats not likely to go higher because everybody wants DOHC stuff

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...em320223498603

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...em220209830142

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...em110231258503

As you can see none of these are buy it now but the price is still low enough on all 3 where its kind of obvious people have a hard time selling them so they do go CHEAP!

Slash I know exactly where it came from, it has 27k miles on it...

The place said some motors come with manifolds alternators and what not some dont... I was just inquireing if he had asked them like I told him to... So I know what I'm dealing with when I go up there to do the swap...
