I gave him a call. I don't want to destroy his mint condition motor LOL. I mostly just need the case, crank, and possibly heads. If anyone wants a good condition motor his price is really quite decent considering the condition. (trust me i've talked to a LOT of companies this week).

My engine locked up a few weeks ago and I am removing my engine from my car next week. I have plans for Full Blown Motorsports to build my short block (hoping that my cylinder walls are good). Though, I am assessing that the cause was due to the ECU or the Variable Valve Timing Control system. Basically, I am curious if it is cheaper to buy a built engine on the forms or to have one built. I'll be paying around 3K to have mine built with a 10:1 compression. Just figured I'd ask |

Still looking. Hoping to avoid buying a new short block. That and I may need a pair of heads...

Oh damn! I just misunderstood. I didn't realize you meant YOUR car was totaled. I hope you are okay!

Thanks, Yes I'm perfectly fine. They were gonna fix it but kept finding stuff. They took good care of me on the values and I don't have to drive a fixed wreck. Got me a Chrysler 300C SRT8 to replace it. I did drive it home and the motor is perfect

You should ask them what the buy back price is. If it was significant enough it may be cheap. I am curious what the buy back is on a car that was totaled. How bad was the damage?
