Hmmmmmm

Thinking I'd want the videos with today's paper to also show the serial number too. Not like he couldn't be showing another perfectly healthy motor

These "I'm doing a LS swap from a perfectly healthy M96" just don't sit well with me...

I also love that they'll take a TT/GT2 transmission in partial trade. A rebuild of one of those costs more than he's asking for the motor!

Yeah, doing a swap on a healthy car makes no sense..... start with a roller for $4000 or whatever they cost these days, not a $15,000 fresh car and try and labor your way to $8000 (which seems low) for a healthy engine so that you are $3000 or more behind when you start.

Dunno, seems weird/fishy.

Honestly swapping a solid running car is way smarter. That guy probably figures the sale of the engine will pay for the majority of his swap vs parting a scrap engine.. I priced the v8 swap when my head took a dump... I could have done it for 10k.

I hope the engine doesn't burn any oil. Will be a bit challenging to add oil

Maybe, but those extra 20hp make up for minor oil starvation issues.

Besides oil changes are so much easier when there is no oil left to drain

Check out the oil filler tube/cap in the photo

Plus side you can hire a shop to perform full engine PPI and if it passes have them remove it.
