Here's the source of my engine. My experience with him (so far) is that he's pretty much on the up & up. I got a used top (w/ frame) from him, too. I picked mine up at the Fedex LTL dock so it was pretty reasonable shipping.

BTW, the air jack & the tall jackstands (6 ton) are available at Harbor Freight and are definitely worth having.

This is the exact engine I am currently looking at if in fact my motor is toast. The only issue with this one is it still has the original IMS. If I do get this engine, I will replace the IMS.

He's done right by me.

Did you find anything about your old engine? A blasted AOS wouldn't provide enough oil to hydrolock the engine while it was running down the road--and there would be a huge cloud of smoke out the tail pipe.
