$3500 For A Broken Engine? Heck Yea.

[Blayd]

Like may of you know my LS400 has been in the shop for a whil, ordered a new ECM, replaced all electronics, fuel pump. Any way last night my mech calls me and says he has good news and bad news the bad news is bad, reall bad, my current engine is shot. Ruined. Pretty much anyway. Not sure about complete specifict but appearently I melted a seal, didn't know, kept running it, ruined the engine in the prosses. He said the good news is that he thinks he has someoe who may be interested in buying it. He worked on his car a while ack and he mentioned that he wanted to do an engine swap (his car is a suped up old toyota of some kind). So after giving the guy a call and listing the specifics and estimated repair cost (its better for me just to replace the engine, save money that way, I have a spare like I said in the 4-sale forum here long story there) So the guy offered 3000 for the ruined engine and the t/c, I said make it 3500, went back 2 sleep. This morning he called and said it was sold. So Im gunna wait until he puts the ther one in. The engine only has 80k so thats good. aybe Ill use the money so suep it back up (Im supposedly going from 575hp to 275hp). Maybe Ill use it on another project car. I dunno yet.
