That motor/trans cannot be priced by just looking at it. It could be a 170k motor that's just quoted at 70k.
Ask for a compression test to be done. The trans could also be bad, there's no way to know without sending it out to a shop to get dynoed.
You're really taking your chances here, I'd give him $1k or less.
The swap - It's quite intensive. You'll need to swap your rearend, driveshaft, and have the car down for about a week. It can be done, just expect another $700-$900 for the swap.

If you were to go through with it, better to be safe then sorry swapping the rear end.

only thing you would be sorry about with a v6 rear end is melting the sh!t out of one tire.Originally posted by DeLaRosa25-Joel

So what else would be aviseable to do to a V6 for the swap? I want my car to be a street rod not a drag car. I'm working on the rear end. I have plans for the driveshaft. Is that all? I mean that sounds way too easy.Comment
