if the car your getting the motor out of has been wrecked or totaled make sure it wasn't hit in front. it should be ok if it was hit on the side or back of the car. good luck with that . and if your a true american freedom is having a car.

It's a bit of work to verify the approximate mileage on an engine, but an engine with 7K on it will look almost like it's sitting under the hood of a new car. No stains, no oil seepage anywhere, and the inside of the exhaust ports will look totally dry, with only a layer of light colored carbon buildup. With only 7K, it will be dusty, but there shouldn't be any oil stains on it anywhere. It will still look like new... Be careful, because wrecking yards usually steam clean their used engines and that kinda hides the real truth. Dennis Thanks Dennis that sounds like good advice, but If I am looking online I can't check that, but if I go to local junk yards I will keep that in mind.

So it sounds like the guys here are Chevy men. I now have a 1989 Scottsdale with a 305. It looks pretty good for a 20 year old truck. It seems to run good, it "feels good". 103K The heater works,the radio works & it has good tires. 700.00 bucks. How'd I do? you done good darlin'

It's not just you. After I got rid of my ex, I found out that I could actually afford to buy a car that still has a warranty on it. I was so excited, and I'm very protective of my new car. (and it's red too)

Well it was scary for a minute but it started. It's 10 above here. Headed out for dinner. I took jumper cables.

The first thing I would change (if I were you) would be to get a job closer to home. Sixty miles one way to work is insane for anybody.

It's 60 round trip, & there's nothing closer. I live halfway between Medford & Chippewa Falls, with the economy around here I am lucky to have a job at all.

Well, there's your problem! There's nothing out in the middle of the sticks out there, except maybe Colby, and there ain't much there, either.
