Re: Engine Swap! NEED HELP FAST!

Ask him why he is pulling it. Has he done a compression check and/or a leak-down test? What is the oil pressure? Does it burn any oil. A core motor is worth about $100. If you hear it run and do a compression check you can go up from there. A new small block Chevy without carb, manifold or water pump but with all the tin is about $900 with a 3-yr guarantee. This engine is worn out and has no guarantee so I would not go over $300 if I heard it run and did a compression check.
