I havent worked on engins before, but i know two people who have. I just know the basics of working on cars. Oh the car Im looking at is silver, and NOT in NJ, but I did see that one. I did just read Buckshots site and I may just try to buy a motor from him, but I have to do some E-mail to him first. I would rather buy my own motor and use the parts from the blown motor instead.
