He emailed me back and said that shipping to my address, missouri, would be 150 bucks... Because he is trying to get his business started.I dunno what do you guys think of this? Im kind of leary

Before anyone gets too excited, please ask him these questions:-What EXACTLY is included? ECU? Harness? Is it just a block? -Pictures? There MUST be pictures.-Condition of the engines? Mileage? Any compression or leakdown test?-Where is his office? US or Foriegn? Phone Number? -Warrenty? What does it cover?-Expected time of shipping? Estimated time until you have it at your doorstep?

Sorry to be a skeptic, but you know the saying; if it's too good to be true...

Let us know what you find out if you pursue this, kage.

Seeing as it's a clip, you shouldn't have to worry about stuff not being with it. I say buy it and rebuild it for safety's sake, with the money you saved. If you're at all worried about the engine not working though, don't get it. Most of the time, reliability is not had through the cheapest, no-name source. Go on the assumption that you'll need to replace/rebuild some stuff.

Sounds fishy to me...

I think the biggest worry is that he'll take the money and run, not that he'll send a busted engine.
