Well, I have my new used motor on it's way. I found a 35,000 mile motor for $1,200 so I jumped on it. Here's a pic of what made me decide to do it. I don't think the bottom of the oil pan should look like this!

Holy guacamole!   

Ya' got some scrap metal there. Too bad recycling prices are down. 

I was hoping you'd up-date! Congtrats on the new / used engine. Keep us posted. 

Still interested in your old intake and injectors.

It sure doesn't look like I'll be needing them. Always happy to help out a guy who'll put them to use. Of course the second I ship them out, I'll end up needing them, but make me an offer.

Brother, isn't that always how it goes.

Gimme a little bit to verify the exact parts list and I'll send you a PM.

Don't worry, I have a price in mind, and if you go too high, I'll knock it down to what I'm thinking for you.

 

Do you want the whole thing as it sits, or do I need to pull more stuff off it?

EDIT: I have to keep the wiring, they cut every wire on the new motor for me.
Edit#2: They only cut the wires that stay with the vehicle, so I can send it out as it sits in the pic. The thing is, they broke all the electrical shit that gets pluged into so I have to swap out most of my old crap. The injectors are still intact, wires and all, just not much else electrical. Do you want the throttle body and stuff with it, or should I take that off?

Lack of wiring shouldn't be a problem for me.  Hopefully.  Never looked at the 2.5 and 2.7 side-by-side before, though, so I'm sure some sort of surprise or another will pop up.

Definitely want the throttle body, as -- as I understand it -- that's the major thing (other than injectors) that's bigger than what I've got.

Hey BeerCheck, I have your intake all boxed up and ready to ship. I'll toss in the cut harness so you have the ends you need. I'll take the box down after work and see how much shipping will be. I only swapped one electrical part, the one you see broke in the first pic.

Sounds good.   Fwiw, I find USPS is usually cheapest, followed by FedEx Ground.  Whatever works best for you, though.  Paypal cool?

Sure, paypal will work. I'll  have you send it to our work account, that way I can send it off to Jeff for that spacer lift. I kinda spent my lift money on a motor . I'll PM ya after I get to the post office and see what it costs.

I got to drive it home tonight. Wow, that old motor must have been tired. It feels like I put new gears in it too! It seems I have a bad oxy sensor in bank 2, sensor 1, other than that, runs great.

Super!

Glad it all worked out well for you.

Merry Christmas! (nice present)
