Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications 3.0L Duratec Buying a LQK Engine Question

Hey I wanted to ask anyone who has bought from LQK, how far they will ship the engines. I was going to call them today but I lost my chance and it�s to late now, so I wanted to get the advice from my fellow CEG�ers. I am just trying to figure out my options for my new engine.

Thanks

IIRC, they don't ship motors.

Well there is one in Northern CA and that would ship to Central CA, so I believe they ship just trying to find out how far they will go.

They ship to shops and garages for free. I got them to deliver mine from Stockton to a dude's cabinet shop in Santa Clara next to SJO airport. From the time they took my credit card till the time they shipped it was about two weeks.

or they will ship to one of their facilties for like 50 bucks...if you have one near...I did about 40 miles away.

I bought mine through an ebay auction from them. It was free for a pick-up for the location where the engine is at. And they have multiple facilities around the US that they would [censored] to for an additional $100. Thats how I've seen them run through ebay, might be different for non-auction items.

Well LQK is closed on the weekends... But i called up another salvage yard and got their price down to $500 for a Ford Taurus 2001, the engine comes without the air compressor and alternator, it has 11k on the motor and has a 100 day warranty. The place is about 100 miles away from my house, and they close at 3:00pm.

What should I do?

Leave right now and get there in an hour and a half, buy the engine that I won�t install for another month?

Or wait it out and call LQK on Monday and talk to them about shipping their engines?

I got mine with 27,000 miles for $450 plus tax from the LKQ in Stockton. It depends on how comfortable you are with mileage. 11,000 miles would be great, but I'm not going to cry with my high mileage block.
