Isn't there a couple for sale in the classifieds on here? I think they were around 17000 with trade.

Thanks and I saw them too. Not interested in fully finished. Just need the engine/heads w/o all accy's. I should be able to get a long block ready to "rebolt" for under 6. I appreciate the response.

Crude Intentions

So, forgive the asking, but what the fock exactly is involved in showering a motor?

I'll talk to my mechanic and if we can use it, I will get in touch. Many thanks!

RE,
Showered the motor meant that water "showered" the internals due to the head cracking when mixed with oil and pumped water through the engine where it shouldn't have gone. Seemed like a decent use of the word.
