Thread: What to look for when buying an engine?

Well I didnt know on what topic to write this thread in.

Its time for a new engine on my b13. i dont have the funds, time and space for a complete sr20 swap. My only option right now is to get a used ga16de from the junkyards. Soken in North Hollywood..10 mins from my pad. Dont even stock them!

What should I look for & inspect before buying a used engine?

I would go for a b14 ga16de since they will have lower miles and not that old compared to b13 ga16de's.

Only if there was a thread in the How-to section then i wouldnt be asking, lol. Sure i would like to sr20 swap but there no time and money for that!!!

okay so your going to waste $300 for a ga16 when you really want a sr20de and can find one close to that price?

dang, I sold my ga16 5 years ago for $200

lol

I sold a stock usdm sr20 for 200 bucks to some kid in need. 120 k miles. SR20 LOVE!

dang.. that's a GREAT deal.. we needed an sr20 engine and couldn't find one cheaper than $500 when we needed it

When looking for an engine, make sure the head has a dedicated exhaust port for each cylinder.
