Anybody remotely near denver have a ca18det they want to sell? I have nowhere to rebuild mine and wondered if anyone had a decent short or long block for sale.

Re: Wtb ca18det short or long block
Are you looking for a used or rebuilt one? I personally don't have a used one, but I can build one for you if you like. You don't have any machine shops near your location? If money is an issue, you may want to attempt to do it yourself. You don't need a gang of space to perform a rebuild; as long as you know what you are doing.

Re: Wtb ca18det short or long block
My issue is not having anywhere to do the work myself. I am not allowed to work in my garage at my apartment and the Auto skills shop on base is only open on saturdays. If I had an engine already then I could just swap it out one saturday but I don't have enough time to break down my engine send it to a machine shop then reassemble it. They wont let you leave your car or parts at the skills center.I would basically have to swap out the motors in one shot.
If I were still in Germany this wouldn't be an issue. I could just grab a CA out of the junkyard and use any of the 7 day a week auto skills centers in the area, but being back stateside I am kinda screwed. More than likely I am gonna just tow the car back to Tennessee and rebuild it there after i get out of the military.
I just thought i would see if anbody had anything that was remotely near me as I wanted to be able to drive my car again after being seperated from it for 4 years, but it's all good. I need to fix a rust hole by the down pipe anyway and it will be easier to do that back home in Tennessee.
