I had ordered a 5.0 engine from a guy. He said it was complete from oil pan to throttle body ,all accessories (exept alt, compressor, and starter) from a 95 with only 70,000 miles on it. He delivered it for $750. When I got it more was missing: both accessory brackets with all accessories including ignition coil, the throttle body was rusted bent and sticking, the motor had the milage wrote on the intake(116,138) it was completely rusted and when I removed the tape from the throttle body a little water pored out. I had to take it back and he did give my money back. Would you give $750 for this? It looks better in the pic than it did in person cause you can't see all the rust.

No.

Did you look at the engine before you bought it? I would say a completely stock engine would be ~$300

For a guy who lied about mostly everything that he told you, i would imagine he beat the crap out of that poor 5.0 to say the least.

Well normally I wouldn't have bought it without lookin first, but the guy was someone that my brother in law knew. He had no problem with me gettin my cash back. I just had to take it 1 hour 45 mins away. I actually seen a post on c-list that nite for the same motor and he was askin 800. I got a good laugh out of that...

mileage written on the intake sounds like a junkyard motor.
I can't sell my clean ass 95 longblock for $100 these days.
Interested with some delivery $$$?
