Would you be able to go look at the engine? Typically it's a good idea to see the engine before you buy, so you don't buy blind. That way you can check to make sure it's the correct engine and has all the correct stamps and numbers, and it's in decent condition.
I Live in Nova Scotia. Any place selling a ZE whats 1400.00 or more. I just dont want to pay someone like 400 or 500 $ to order me a motor.. If I can find one that has a warranty and they supply pictures of the motor and compression test.
Dont get me wrong though If I could I would go check the motor out befor I paid for it.. When It gets shipped I will do a good visual inspection befor I sign for the shippment. thats all I can do I guess.
