Used Engine wanted

[stevengerard]

Looking for a running used engine for my MM that I can rebuild while I continue to drive the car. Prefer close to Chicago or nearby states so I can pick it up. Thanks - leads welcome.

does your engine currently run?

[stevengerard]

Yes, sure does, but needs work

When you rebuild will you be keeping it basically in stock trim?

[stevengerard]

no, I think if I went back to stock it would be cheaper to find another MM in better condition than mine to begin with. Instead of buying another MM I'd probably try a different model, life is short.

That's the issue I have, lots of mods on the car, I get no one pays for my mods, but I like them and if I keep the car I'm keeping it that way.

I'll have a marauder for sale soon!

Why not buy another motor in poor condition and rebuild it. Then swap it in?

How much do you think the rebuild would cost?

I was asking Steve how much he thought it would cost to rebuild a motor.

I'm guessing 3 - 4k and about time I'm done with the "might as wells that will turn into 4-5k

That was my point. Consider a reman long block. There will still be some might as wells but in the end if you go the rebuild route you can end up with a rebuilt motor cheaper and with a warranty.
