Hey,

I've found a 6 speed setup for my car that is coming from a 94 that had some kind of a dash fire. The guy is asking if I'd be interested in the motor as well. He says the fire went into the motor area. I haven't seen it yet, but from the sounds of it, it got all of the wiring etc on the plenum of the motor. Is there any warping issues I need to look out for? He wants like $300 for the motor.

Thanks

 

I bought a motor with 8K miles on it that had an interior fire that melted the wiring harness in the engine compartment. Motor runs great. I had the intake sand blasted to clean it up and replaced the trashed valve covers.

 

No bad to use the block and maybe other parts that made it through

 

Thanks for the info. I'll find out more tomorrow

 

I went to the wrecker yesterday to see the motor as I was buying the 6 speed tranny. To my great surprise, the motor was complete to the catback and included a set of good looking BBK headers . Steal! I even had thoughts of the motor being something special, but it's just a red painted or powdercoated intake.... oh well.

The fire got 6 of 8 injectors, and anthing elctronic plastic on the top end. The throttle body was missing as well. Must have been something nice.

Either way still a sweet deal for $300!
