If I bought a Porsche that developed a "death rattle" knock within a few days of purchase, I'd be confronting the seller about it.

Even with an "As-Is" condition. And then I'd contact a State agency if I didn't receive any satisfaction there. And an attorney next.

Just sayin'................

This is the best advice. I would phone up the seller and see how receptive he is to some kind of settlement. If no satisfaction then mention getting the services of a lawyer. You don't have to hire the lawyer right away but just the mention of a lawyer may scare him to do something for you. Then if no satisfaction then think of whether you to want to hire a lawyer or just swallow the loss and move on.

I hate to hear of this kind of cr-p.....G.

I would also agree. If the engine dies shortly after purchasing, I would be very suspicious. Yes, it could be a coincidence, but.....

Nope.. I don't do any conversions. All my work is internal, making that OE 3.2 into a 3.6 or 3.8.. I've done one conversion, that was one too many. Taking an engine out of one car and putting it into another doesn't captivate me.
