What are you guys' though on buying cars with rebuilt engines?



Saw a 74 camaro for sale for 7k. Rebuilt engine. Looks good buy I have to idea how that kind of thing goes

see if he has paperwork for the motor being rebuilt and where it was rebuilt at.


was it rebuilt at a reputable shop, or was it rebuilt in Billy Joe's garage?

Yeah I'm going to email him about and find out. I may even go up there since its about 45 minutes away from me. But I'll definitely ask about the paperwork, thanks for the heads up about that.

What engine is it?

Most likely it would be a 350 and those are dumb easy to work on

I'm hoping so, I want it as a project car. Never worked on an engine before though, body might not be ready.

Not sure what the engine is though, I haven't reached out to the owner yet.

I feel like theirs a lot of definitions of rebuilt that people use. Ask them what they did to rebuild it. Post link or pics to show condition

Here's pics of the car + engine

Would really want to cop since its my all-time favorite muscle.


This is the outcome I'm looking to build

What tire quality argument?

What tire quality argument?

I thought it was about brakes

 

[omariwestafari]

Tires affext braking

 

[omariwestafari]

And tires are the thing that create friction with the pavement when braking

Hence braking in snowy or rainy condidtions is not the same because the TIRE cant get friction with the pavement

 

[omariwestafari]

Really? Wow, thanks for the info.

Repped.

im not understanding what u tryna say papi.

do u have facetime?

I usually keep my phone in between my legs.

Do you get frightened easily by large specimens?

im a v8 man of course not

 

[dankenstien88]

nice car right?

nope.

 

Well, they know what's up

But seriously why not work with what you have?

- More power
- Considerably lighter engine
- More bottom end torque
- Flatter torque and power curve
- Better reliability
- Less expensive aftermarket (in North America at least)

Owner likely blew the original engine and decided to replace it with a superior engine. Only advantage to the RB is its higher redline, but that's a moot point because the LS has such a flat curve that with proper gearing its easy to keep it in its power band.

 

[omariwestafari]

how u gunna call owner an idiot for doing what HE wants to HIS car

some of yall are too funny

 

[bigboss]

My man talks about the LS like Chevy cut him a check for it 

 

 

[PRIME]

Shoulda dropped a Hemi in it

 

[dankenstien88]

No, owner likely is an idiot.

Quite a compelling argument you have there. Did you think that up yourself or did you have to Google it ?

 

[omariwestafari]

He wanted a better engine, its not that hard to understand papa

 

[waitwut]

Shouldve dropped da rb26dett in it

O wait

 

[dankenstien88]

I pretty much just came up with it myself.

Why he would ever do that to a skyline is beyond me.
So, I just classified it as so.

You can pretty much distinguish the "Google taught me" statements apart from the others.

It should be pretty clear why he would want a superior engine as opposed to keeping that useless boat anchor.

I just noticed that the car has been converted to LHD too So I don't think the owner is the least bit worried about value or keeping "the God machine of Nippon" all original.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Yea, he's an idiot.

I don't get how that's hard to understand. Nothing wrong with that, it is what it is. Know what I mean?

Talk about your **** some more Papi

I see that fam

Shoulda had awd I. It to see what it could really do

That potential

 

[nelson999]

That skyline was never AWD it was actually just a crappy RWD model he just put a GT-R wing on it

 

[airedweezy]

I'll start it off with letting someone else introduce it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WCIS?

Now pics of the girl and throw one of you in there

It would steal be cool though right!?

 

[andretti]

So it wasn't a GT-R?
By all means then.

After all, there's no replacement for displacement.

Cmon bruh shake out with all that.
