New engine ?  By who's standards ? They all had new engines at one time. I have seen" new engines" that came out of a spray can.  Best to hear it run before you "jump" on it :roll:

New aint new unless you built it yourself or know who did and trust their work.  I've tore down alot of good ta go motors to find they are crap. If ya were to buy 5 "good" engines for $200 apiece 1 might be buildable. :lol:

Ive seen two teenagers rebuild a motor in a parking lot. Granted a buddy let them use his trucks tailgate and it was at a show so parts were plenty and it did take another 5 watchers and 3 advisors but it ran.

Second thought maybe YOU shouldnt even think about it. I believe The Godfather would be inclined to build another indirect fire weapon and target you with leftover rods. :lol:

The cost of building motors has gone crazy. It would cost ya $700-800 if your lucky and can use some of your stuff and you do it yourself. Dont do it! I had crappy leftover engines to learn on if it was bad oh well. New ones will make ya repeat damit several times and throw stuff. :shock:
