Everything is for sale, for the right price. My extra motor is the 3.6 I am pulling out of my own car to replace with a new 3.6 X51. The engine has less that 20k miles on it and was a reman Porsche engine built in 2005.

Hay bud

The reason I posted in your thread was if you buy one with a bad motor, you will know that I am an interested party to purchase. Geez man just wanted to let you know that I could be a buyer if you still have the extre motor.

I guess I didn't understand your post, are you just looking for a bad 2.5L or 2.7L engine? If so I have two 2.5L, both 1998. One is pretty much trash, slipped sleeve, good heads crank etc, just the main case is junk. The other ran but had a knock when removed. It hasn't been disassembled.

Haha, you guys are on the ball. It was me who had a blown engine. I don't really want to give it up and was looking to do a 3.4 or 3.6 swap. I already contacted Todd and now that I know he has a 3.6, maybe I can work something out with him on putting that into mine.
