Is that mud all over the side or rust??? If it's rust it sure is a whole lot of it for only having 1500 miles on the ODO

rubberneck-

I said the same thing. I think it is rust. My 98. 5 @ 70k miles has no rust on the exhaust headers. Something doesn't add up.

Ebay HO Engine

The engine in my 12V with 120K+ miles looked in better condition than this motor. The price looks right - for now - but the motor does not look like 1500 miles old. I would be prepared to put $$ into this motor. Something doesn't add up.

 

[rubberneck]

yeah, it either has a lot more miles, or it has been very hot. My manifold stayed a nice color until i started getting greedy with the fueling box and stock turbo. After several 1600 degree quarter mile runs the lacquer has burned off, and im starting to get a few rust spots, but nothing like that.

From the looks of the motor, the donor Ram met with an ugly front ending fate.

Possibly pulled out of a "Flood" vehicle.

i'd be leary of that one , its been sitting somewhere with the intake airhorn MIA , and getting wet and muddy . .



but it would be a nice spare for my slighty used ETC , wonder how it would run with an ETC pump and controller ???

 

[Todd T]

maybe they were trying to boost the compression up a little more with a nice layer of clay on top the pistons LOL



I've heard of ceramic tops but this is rediculous

Looks like its also missing flywheel and flywheel housing.

Ask seller about rust. Here is his answer:

"YES THE MOTOR LOOKS RUSTY,IT IS A LITTLE ,IT GOT SOME BATTERY ACID ON

IT

FROM WRECKED, I SHOULD HAVE TOOK IT TO CAR WASH BEFORE PICTURES. IT

WAS

WRECKED DURING CHRISTMAS,AND WAS NEVER CLEANED UP,I JUST PULLED MOTOR A

COUPLE DAYS AGO!!!"

I also asked about the electroics, but he didn't reply to that. :{

 

[Mad Max]

Someone should explain to the seller that battery acid is best "neutralized" rather than just "washed off at the local car wash"... besides, who is he, Connan? I'll just throw it in the bed of my SECOND 2002 and take it down to the carwash and spray it down????



Maybe he's married to Zena? or Chyna? or...
