hey all, i've been given the run-around for the last few months dealing with people about an engine for my 1988 GTA and since the last "deal" failed i'm back here to if anyone has any 350s laying around for sale. i'm specifically looking for 350s coming from an 3rd gen F-body or a vortec motor from a late 90s chevy truck. i'm in NJ so preferably NJ people only since i'll be picking the engine up near you to save shipping (hey, times are tough for everyone, i know, i'm jobless too. went back to school.).
Thank you in advance!

zach,
yes you are correct. all the engines offered are NOT what i want, thus i did not pursue them and this classified ad still exists. I'm very specific with what i want, i told people what i want in the beginning of this ad and i don't think i should buy just any engine. I don't want short blocks, TBI motors, or engines of unknown origin, displacement, or whatever.
As for your offering, yours is the first to fit my criteria. if bought i will be putting TPI on it. Questions: how many miles? does it still have a roller valvetrain (roller cam, roller lifters, etc...)? Got pictures of it? What kind of driving did you do with it (used and abused?)? out of the car? how long has it been out? Where was/is it stored? are you in NJ?
Thanks for your offering, minus the sarcasm. These forums are for helping the community not providing your "colorful" criticism. It doesn't help to sell things either.
should have left the engine in the car for you to hear it and drive it, sorry not worth the trouble anymore i am just going to keep it for the $450 i know its good if it was not i would have never taken it out and would have said i have a block that need to be rebuilt if interested but would have sold it before removing it,
good luck in your hunt
look i didn't mean to offend anyone, i just need a 350 TPI engine, long block or complete. is being specific so bad?
