WA found a great used engine deal

seen an ad on craigs list, call and was told engine sold for $250.00. Get a call on Sunday night at 830pm from a number i do not recognize, answer the call and it is the original sellers room mate.

he tells me the roommate moved out with out telling him and text him my phone number saying i would buy the engine. Go look at it tonight, 6 port second gen with everything less upper intake. Roll it over looking in exhaust ports. No broken apex seals, housings look ok but has some light rust in it.

This guy says he knows nothing about rotorys, I tell him it will need a rebuild and is only worth 50 bucks, he says lets load it up its your. Thought this was a fair deal for me for a rotating keg with extras. going to keep the keg but if anyone needs the other parts that came with it pm me.

I did the same thing and put the FC engine in my GSL-SE... paid $275 though, started and ran!

Will need to swap the front cover for it to fit otherwise bolts right in. I plugged the 6port holes in the FC's upper mani to run the -SE EFI on the FC engine.
