    RI: 177k M42 and transmission

    I've had this lying around since I pulled it from my black car about 3 years ago. I don't see me using it anytime soon and I could use the space/cash.

    The engine has somewhere around 177k on it. I bought it at 170 with a cracked head, put a new one on with all new top end gaskets and drove it without issue till I pulled it. So every gasket and seal from the headgasket up is new, but the lower ones have some leaks. I believe it leaked from the upper pan gasket, but it's been too long to remember.

    The transmission always shifted great, never ground into gear. Clutch held great and felt smooth.

    It has been sitting outside under a few tarps though, so some of the bare aluminum is corroded. I had all the openings sealed, so it's just the exterior that looks rough. I'm sure with a power washer and a scotch brite pad it would clean back up nicely.


    I'm looking for $500 for everything. So you'll be getting:
    Engine
    Transmission
    Clutch/flywheel/all associated parts inside the bellhousing
    Engine harness (and ECU if I can find it)
    Coils
    All accesorys, some in better shape than others

    Local pickup only for now, I have a hoist to help you get it in a truck.

                              Can't believe you haven't sold this, someone buy it already.
