I don't know anything about DC Auto but what a deal, they sell off an engine that they really don't know anything about and you do all the work to find out. Worse case for them is you bring it back for a refund. Pretty good gamble on thier part - low investment with potential for high reward. Lets see if they ice the cake and stick you with some kind of cheezy restocking/penalty fee....Bruce

I am going to have to pull the motor back out and send it back. That will take me a week, freight to ship it back will be about $400. I'm kinda screwed after that on what to do. I might just part the car out. Really disappointed. Motor was described as rebuilt with 14k miles, bolt right in and a "beautiful" motor.
