Not sure if you saw the link, but it's been recently rebuilt so aside from the bottom end damage is hopefully in reasonable shape.

It was funny though. I showed up to buy a couple pieces of side molding and went home with an engine in the back of my Talon. Who'da thunk it.


Also, I'd rather learn on something cheap, because likely as not I'll screw something up. :P
Yes that motor was rebuilt... But it was rebuilt with TOPLINE parts. I'd do a complete rebuild, gaskets, seals, pistons, all of it. But that's just my opinion. Also, I got the coolant overflow from that car. And there was a mud type substance in there, I'd get everything hot tanked just to be safe while you're at it.
