I found an RB20DET block and head... basically a long block that has a spun bearing, and some broken head studs and is missing the water pump and oil filter hookup??? This is VERY cheap but i was wondering how much and where i could get these parts, i think its missing both manifolds as well. What else would i want to look for in a motor thats been over boosted and leaned out? Would i need a crank?

it may cost more than the price of a "new" used engine to fix it enough to be useable. theres no way to know till you pull it apart and check.

Thats what i thought, but for $60 i figured i could at least part it out and make double that....

if its been toasted then the block will def need some love to be straight again.

do you think its worth $60 for the block and head. It has all the internals and the head is complete but with broken head studs.

If you don't pick it up let me know and I'll take it.
