3.4 SC'd motor on ebay
 

No connection to seller. He wants about $15k, but I bet it goes for much less. Link.

damn it's tempting to make him an offer........ "herself" would kill me though

I figured this would be an interesting choice for someone in need of a replacement motor. There always seems to be a few out there at any given time. Do you get a new one for less with warranty or use the situation as an opportunity for a max upgrade? My personal guess would be anyone who has had an engine failure would be gunshy about this.

why?, unless your engine has grenaded, you already have a motor. Just buy the SC setup if you want one...

yeah, I guess I'd buy this before I bought a new SC to have installed and if the engine burns up at some future time, I'd still have my original. Problem is you don't know how the guy ran the motor. I mean SC already shortens the life of the engine and trans, but if he stepped on it a lot then ... kaboom. I wonder what happened with the car? - Accident?
