Roofy needs our help ..... Can the forum come to the rescue !!!!

[Sir Roofy]

G'day trendsetters,

On a serious note, if we are going to spend between $3000 and $4000 for a motor for Roofy, then i think we need to discount a secondhand engine.

I have located the following motor listed below is situated in Clayton South Victoria, it is a fully reconditioned engine with 12 months warranty, the mob wants $4600 exchange. I think we could contact these folks they might come to the party and let us have the motor for around $3500 or $4000. Plus the motor also comes with a brand new head and 12 months warranty. The blokes business number is 0400 033 377. I think you folks need to contact this chap ASAP to see what deal the bloke might offer.

ive read this again and it sounds like a good way to go. It doesn't say anything about a turbo ?.
This is the way we would like to go especially as it has a warranty. Can we look into this further? Thanks
