do if u need help with the motor swap just ask

Subject: Re: yes found a motor is it a good deal? Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:52 pm

Definitely take the one with 1/3 of the miles. It's worth the extra $100, because "if you buy cheap you pay twice."

One hundred clams is nothing in the long run, whereas 55,000 miles are....55,000 miles.

Dont buy it if it has a dented oil pan, and make sure it isnt an M62 SC.

M62 SC = Series I 3800 Supercharged

the one the 32,000 is 3 hours away and my other cars are a 79 caprice coupe witch is of the road for winter..cant put a motor in that car an a 99 jeep cherokee sport not sure if it will fit in the back and be able to get it out.

Subject: Re: yes found a motor is it a good deal? Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:06 am

Look into shipping options, the 32k motor is a STEAL at $800 unless it suffered abuse or has other issues. But then you have the warranty. Maybe one of our other NY members has a truck and some spare time?

It should fit in the cherokee, you'll probably have to put the backseat down and leave the spare tire at home. You're just getting the engine correct?

As for pan dents, you want to make sure nothing tried to exit from inside the pan (which would make a convex dent).

Subject: Re: yes found a motor is it a good deal? Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:46 pm

A dent in the bottom of the pan would need to be fixed. You don't want to risk the possibility of blocking oil flow into the pickup tube. Not uncommon for an engine to get dropped on the floor a bit too hard and dent the pan.

I know for a fact that an L67 will fit in the trunk of a Bonneville. It should fit in the Cherokee.

You can rent a pickup truck from Enterprise for less than $40 a day with unlimited mileage.
