Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance who wants an svt engine for $50?

I did e-mail him... I also found the zipcode of Brighton, MI. The problem is that on UPS's webpage, the max weight for a package is 150lbs, and max over volumn is 130 cu. in. The spec the seller gave was well over the max anyway.

Which means one of two things... Either the seller doesn't know what he's talking about or he has a secret way around the weight limit of some sort. Freight was the only way I could find to ship complete engines when I was getting set up to do it... $$$ Cost to about 3 states away was right around $350.$$$ It aint going to be cheap...

Also is it just me or does it look like that motor was left outside for a long length of time.... look at the throttle body its really looks corroded (spelling)im just wondering if this motor is more trouble then its worth, especially with the way he worded the heads might not be good

Any aluminum engine left outside, even for just a couple of days will have the surface dust on it. Nothing to really worry about. At the current price, it's still BARELY worth the asking price if it's a local buyer only. Shipping for this thing will run minimum $100, even for those with good connections to freight shippers. The motor won't run again, look at it as parts for an SE. Buy the whole engine and have them just ship you the intakes and cams. Heck, the cams are $1200 new themselves...
