My '89 GTUs - New engine?
Hey there
I got an '89 GTUs and I need a rebuild. Unfortunately I don't really have the funds for a rebuild so I think I'm just gunna drop a new motor in there. I might buy a '90 GXL motor off this guy. He said his friend crashed his car and fucked up one of his control arms and the engine is fine. It's still in the car so I'm gunna go check it out and see how it starts up. He says its fine -- turns over every time, runs good. It's got 123k on it, no oil burning, no overheating, compression 105-105. He wants $350 for the shortblock. But I got to take it out myself or pay him another $100 to take it out for me.
Think it's a good deal? Just want some feedback
Thanks
