i have no knowledge of the engine or car's history. i bought it for $1,100 and i haven't started the car since i bought it. The reason it doesn't start is electrical however if I were to fix it it is not known that something such as the engine would be in fine running order. Although I am not a business I can tell you that if you put it together properly and it didnt work I would return your money. but things like warpage can be checked for before sale and measurements can be included with the sale. off hand I don't have much info at the moment. and as for price I am open to what you think is fair. on ebay a full engine is 800-1200 for a m119.960 that I have seen. It would be harder to sell a short block than a long block so as a disadvantage of taking the engine apart I might want a little more. I will research the value and you tell me what you want to spend and we can come to an agreement. but because of past experiences I will only do an in person deal face to face.

much cheaper than I would charge and it is local.... also has a 30 warranty... I didn't see a passenger side only drivers. but if you call them maybe they have it? if you picked it up it's only $100~ compared to other cylinder head prices I saw ranging from $250-700~ this seems like a steal for you...

Ok. Let me know what other information you could give me from this engine. Hopefully we could meet up sometime in September. I'm currently out of town. Thanks for all your help.

Hope I'm not bothering you that much but I'm just wondering where I could find the passenger's side that you mentioned? Could you send me the link if it's not too much to ask. Would really appreciate it.

no it is fine.

September should be fine

what i was saying is on that ebay listing they are selling just the drivers side cylinder head... common sense tells me that they either have or had the passenger side too since they are a dismantler... I was suggesting calling them to find out if they have (or already sold the passenger side) or if you want I could call if your out of the country and can't?

I've already talked to them a few days ago and unfortunately they don't have the passenger side. Thank you so much for all your help. Really appreciate it.
