A low mileage Grand National engine for less than $200?! That's beyond a scam, the heads alone would cost you that.

I missed that. I bet that's what it is, those 3.8 were mass produced like there's no tomorrow.

the t type engine can be had for that w/o turbo I sell them quite often, they are usually cores, but every once in a while a yard will let one go like that. At a yard those engines are almost worthless since they don't sell often, they are crusher material
