- Found excess play in crank (in/out) when replacing rear main seal. Installed Heads/Intake manifold (new OEM gaskets), but decided I didn't want it to fail on me or someone else.
-Told it ran fine when pulled, but I have NO maintenance history.
- New OEM waterpump, cam/crank seals, rear separator plate.
- Advised to split block and replace crank/thrust bearing??
Have most, if not all, accessories (as of 8/15/09) to make complete drop-in motor....if you want to risk it 'as is'.
If I can't get close to my asking price, I'll make it my Fall project to fix/build a beast.

Shipping? Probably not worth it.
I'm near Spokane, WA. Likely headed to Seattle end of Sept., and willing to deliver for gas $$.
Thanks!





Thanks,
