Not everyone trusts themselves to rering, grind, install new bearings, gaskets etc. You're paying for labor and a motor that has been inspected and torn down. Not smart to get a $500 and go through it before installing as I have learned the hard way as well as have others.



ok, i agree with the "not everyone wants to do it and is willing to pay for it" but with a buckshot engine, you STILL need to add components to it and still NEED to upgrade the tranny and install it in the car. I said CEG'ers will do all of that for you for about $1500 more than what youd be paying for just the buckshot engine. In the end, you'd save money...

But how is an engine with 5k miles on it, that has been completely torn down and rebuilt by someone who knows what they are doing, and knows what is bad and good as far as condition of parts...not as reliable as an engine that buckshot has done? Simply because the engine has been run before vs one that hasn't? If its complely rebuilt by someone with knowledge...it IS just as reliable.




You Obviously don't get the point,
