Yeah, running a used motor wasn't my first choice. I actually approached him about a "core". Since I have a 20r, I wanted to get a used 22r long block to rebuild at my leisure. The low mileage had just got me thinking... The thought had crossed my mind of the running upside-down, or head on collision damage as well but I was still on the fence, until now. I have been watching the f.s. section here and on pirate, and saw some comaprable prices for low mileage, or cheap but too far away. I'm just going to keep looking for the core I need.
Oh, yeah, I originally offered him $200 and I think it pissed him off <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
