Wanna tear apart an engine?

DEVIOUSDEV · 06-23-2006, 02:58 PM

I've got a spare 2.5L motor that had a blown head gasket (from a 95 mystake) that I would like to offer to one of my fellow SoCalers.

"Why would I want this lump of engine?" you ask.

Well I'll tell you.

I've found that the best way to learn how to work on these motors is to actually get down and dirty with one, and take it apart. So if you are planning to build a 3.0L anytime soon, or just want to learn the inner workings of the Duratecs, don't risk breaking your own, buy a spare. And here is your opportunity to do so. Cheaply.

You're probably saying to yourself, "Thats all fine and good Devin, but what do you want for this glorious hunk of history?"

$500?

Pfffft. Who do you think I am, CustomCougars?

$250?

No way. Go lower.

$100

Nope.

Here's what I'm gonna do. Just because I like your face, for today and today only, you can have this masterpiece of automotive technology for 10 easy payments of $2.

I don't know what I'm thinking, I'm practically giving this thing away

.

And if you order within the next 20 minutes, I'll deliver it TO you anywhere in the Greater Orange County Area. (extra delivery fees (pizza) apply for anyone further away).

Operators are standing by, so don't miss out on this opportunity to tear something apart. Cheaply.

LTNS guys, yeah, I've been busy.

If I had the space I'd jump all over it. But I'm already trying to get rid of an engine as it is.

Cool! Too bad I've already torn two of these apart

you can't just take 20 upfront?

Honeslty, I'd take it but I have nowhere to keep it.

For you, I'd take the 20 up front

It actually doesn't take up too much space in the garage... I've got it under a table right now... I'll try and get a picture of it later for you

Damn I feel special. My garage is nothing but storage space though, it's a two car garage and we can't fit one in.

Sounds like my Mom's house.

Where the engine is currently stored.

So you've got room

I'd hate to see how much pizza it would take for him to deliver it to me here in Phoenix.

Seriously, I've got all the room in the world, I just would have to figure out how to get it here. If you have any other reason for coming to Phoenix, I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands.
