If you just want to throw another base engine in there, it sure isn't that expensive.
And you likely don't need the whole thing anyways.

IMO that's too much for a 155K motor. The ad even says it'll need new seals & gaskets. I wonder what it looked like before it was "cleaned thoroughly."

This would be a better buy IMO.

But Fiddlebog is right. An engine isn't that expensive. Look around.
