    Exclamation Marauder engine

    Yes yes yes the time has come for number three.

    I'm looking for a stock engine for my Marauder.

    I know some of you messaged me a few months ago saying what you have, others mentioned they would have a stock engine after their swap.

    Let me know what you have. Looking to make a purchase probably by next week. I would like to get my options together first before making a decision.

    BTW if anyone should ask or say I told you so.... no regrets. I got 77K outta this engine and the only reason I swapped at 99K (on the car) was because it was less than rebuilding the engine to be ready for the supercharger. Now that the story is straight there is no reason for anyone to get it wrong.

    Let me know what you have.

    Thanks!

    Dom is it possible to make one out of the old two engines? Maybe save some cash?

    That sucks. I guess it wasn't a exhaust leak.

    Not for long. Once I get what I need I'll be back to being happy from being away from here. You and a few others I am glad I met. Basically anyone I call is worth keeping in my life. I know I speak to all three of you.

    I have one engine. Even if that were the case the labor would murder me.

    It's pretty much been confirmed that it's a wrist pin... or something like that. Either way the engine must come out for repair or replacement.

    When my wrist pin broke it killed my cylinder. Another engine is the cheapest way to go. I can ask around my local forums for a good short block if you wanna build it, or a long block if you wanna drop it in. Cost factor is up to you.

    Why not take it apart and find out whats wrong with it? Could be something very easy to fix.

    The labor exceeds the cost to replace it.
