Default WTB: N/A engine in need of rebuild

Looking for an N/A engine that will mate up with an 86' chassis with no mechanical failures that I can rebuild while while my engine continues to go south. If you are in the NJ area and knows of an engine that needs headgasket, head job, rings/bearings please drop me a private message.

Please dont try to sell me an engine that spun a bearing, or broke a timing belt, and make it look like it is okay, because If I open up the engine and see this I will come and get you

Thanks
Christian

Changing your engine?? Not bad, Mr. Woodpecker! What happened to your present engine?

Hey, you mentioned you wanted to buy my D90's when we did our last meet. Still interested, or should I offer them to all?

I have an entire engine for an 86 with rear interior fire and an AUTO trans (meaning its a parts car AUTOmatically). Too bad you are so far away but if you have a cheap shipper and are interested in it, let me know. This engine was a runner until the rear of the car caught fire but if you want, I can take the head off and check. Besides, it will give me a reason to chop that car apart and satify Devia's itch to demolish a 944.

How bad was the fire? Did it warp any body panels?

Andy, Well my engine is starting to go south. (Just hit 200K) Compression is slowly falling, oil dripping everywhere and highway driving smells like burning oil! Since im buying the engine I wont be able to take your D90's. Did you get the 968 rims yet? Judd too bad I would have offered 250 or 300 since you are close. Michelle thanks for the offer, you are a little to far!

And just the rear interior is fire gutted?

How far forward did the fire go?

Rear Seats?

Rear seat is slightly cinched and the bottom of the car a little. But it is repairable. I wouldn't do it though because I didn't need don't need 8 944s. I just sold my 86 and 88 turbo so after this parts car is gone, I will be down to 5.
