rebuilt 13b engine...425dollars
time to install...10hours
kicking your own butt for actually buying a 425 dollar rebuilt "13b" engine off ebay... priceless


frankly I would stay away from a rebuilt engine that low. The cheapest I've ever run into is 890 dollars, and that was just for new seals and gaskets.

Looks like a GSLSE engine, but with different (from stock) rotorhousings. They look like the 70's style 13B rotorhousings to me, but that is a pisspoor set of pictures.

I wouldnt touch that, personally. Says it has been ported, but no pics of the ports.
