FA20 Engine(s) for sale

So I have 2 incomplete engines for sale, here is the full story.

My original engine blew after about 3k miles of being boosted. Mechanic and I came to the conclusion it was most likely a tune issue. The ring land on one of the cylinders came apart and scored the cylinder beyond repair (unless you resleeve).

So I order another engine (we'll call this engine #2), it comes in and some of the covers/pulleys and other misc. pieces are damaged. I call the company and tell them it is not acceptable, and they send another (engine #3).

I ordered a manual and they sent me an auto engine (twice) so I told them I'm keeping the original engine they sent me (#2) to recoup the mechanic costs of having to swap parts over that he wouldn't have otherwise had to do if they sent a manual engine.

What I have for sale is my original engine and engine #2. The bottom end on engine #2 was compression tested and it was good. You would just have to take some of the other parts from the original engine and put on engine #2.

I was going to build engine #2 with new pistons/rings and a few other things, but I am moving soon and don't have time. This would be a great way to start a project engine for cheap if you have the knowledge.

This is engine #2, it was wrapped in cellophane and ready to be shipped back to the engine supplier. It has been in my garage the whole time.

This is the torn down original engine
