problem still need to change the bell pan

besides that i dont know

 

whats a typical rebuild price if i had my motor redone? about the same or more? less?

 

This is not actually rebuilt its used, everdrive deals with multiple salvage yards thru out the country. Its relatively high for a used engine, your basically paying for the warranty.. A good used engine with about 60 or 70k should run about $700. dollars, warranty will range from 30 days to 6 months, with the possibility of purchasing an extented warranty.
Look down the throttle body if oil pooling is present replace the plenum while its out..
Hope this helps!!!!!

 

i just found a deal near my town a trans and motor, both working properly, for 500 bucks. i think i might buy it, and rebuild that since it wont require taking my truck off the road. so then when i take my motor and trans out i have spares.

and i just checked my truck for the plenum leak, and mine is nice and clean in there so i ahve no worries about that thank god, but will have to check on new motor

they came from a 97 ram 360 that got side swiped, and the chassis is bent pretty bad, so hes parting it out. The motor and trans have 127K on them

 

i'm going to interpret this....
you probably still need to change the plenum belly pan.

and he's right. its likely a stock setup on the plenum.
its probably a good motor, but i'd want to know more about their process.
is the block bored out for true-ness, or just slapped back together ?
new freeze plugs ?
heads magnafluxed ?
is it compression checked and dyno'ed and did it pass.
i like the warranty. 3yr, 36k.
i like the free shipping.
i like the no core charge.

 

1500 for a used engine. well f**k me running.
i fell for it being rebuilt. f**k me again.
