buying a motor over internet

[97 TWISTER]

Quick look on a map shows 7+ or so hours from MI to PA...for that kind of $$ and piece of mind, think I would take a ride with a handful of tools....compression gauge, leak down tester and a bore scope.

The cost of shipping will near cover your fuel to make the trip....Bring your wife and make a weekend excursion out of it?

This is what I would do. I have driven farther for much less and I'm sure many others here have as well.

I think he's selling to buy a 260 or 280, it's not really odd, all of us want to go faster. With all the facebook pages alot of guys post more on them and less on here. I still agree with the road trip suggestion as one persons nice isn't the same as anothers. The motor could be mint or could be a turd.

If I were as close as you are to this motor, I would not purchase it without performing both a compression and a leakdown test on it. Failure to do so may result in HUGE expenses to rebuild it.

If it's still on a boat....Road test !! er I mean Wet Test !!!!

I decided to pass on the motor, too many red flags, and I dont have the time to drive there and test the motor, so I decided to buy a nice stock 2.5 from David Dreifort, hes shipping it to me, then Ill do some mods to it. thanks for all input everyone!!
