Re: ?'s bout a 2 liter motor



I got my 2.0 16V bottom end from a local salvage place (SF Bay area) and it
was a stripped block. No head, no accessories, just a complete bottom end.
It had 100,000 miles on it, and I paid $350. For that price they gave me a
guarantee that all the parts inside were good.
