About to buy an early '86 - questions before buying

[crshbandit]

$300 ???? I haven't found an engine even close to that price. I have been talking to several salvage yards and they have been on the internet looking for me. They haven't found anything for under $1750 ????. WTF?

this guy can make you 190 crank hp and a 3.0 liter 6m-ge engine replacment engine for under 1500 i believe...

check it out, if a scrap yard wants 1750 for an engine thats been sitting for ever tell them to get f*ed... there not even worth dick on the market,
im currently trying to give just a block away(no cylinder head) for free and no one will take it.....

plus why do you have low compressing?? if its a BHG it should be easy to just replace a gasket rather than the whole engine...

Hey, thanks man, I was hoping you'd say that! That looks like a really good deal for the 6mge engine. Do you know anyone that has gone thru them and installed one? I will keep hunting. Thanks again, this is the kind of info. I was looking for!

if you go to the celicasupra.com and under venders you will find alot of parts for these cars. there seems to be many satisfied people with positive comments. check it out for yourself

but remember all these items you need to install yourself or get a mechanic to do for you.

or you could look in your local classified adds and buy one!
good luck searching you may have to look for many months as the car is not popular as others.
