WTB feeler: Running engine
Hey guys, looking to get the 951 back on the road and I'm looking for a good running used engine...or long block....or short block. I actually dont mind if it has a few issues, I'm mainly interested in a motor that has a healthy cylinder head and known good bores. Everything will likely be replaced before installation (Read: All front end seals/RMS/oil cooler seals/HG/WP/belts/maybe rod bearings). I'm not looking to spend a lot (Nobody is right?). I'd really like an 86 or earlier engine if at all possible, with a MY 86 engine being greatly preferred over all others for the combination of factory tapped oil pan and no spring belt tensioner. I'm located in central Texas, 35 minutes south of Austin and would prefer something local within 2 or 3 hours drive max. Let me know what yall have!
Edit: For my purposes, an NA engine is just fine since it'll be getting new pistons and rods!
