rebuild Redtop or get a Blacktop? - see inside

[unicoladron]

with any engine that has been carelessly yanked out of a car on the other side of earth, of course you may run into things. a few things you need to look at if you DO choose to purchase the engine:

-buy from reputable vendor
-get it on paper that they guarantee at least 30 days warranty, or some type of startup warranty guarantee.
-don't listen to "errr between 35 and 55 kilometers" that's all horse poo anyways.
-it's not that hard to freshen up an older redtop. you can source oem gasket kits direct from nissan. all the preventative maintenence parts and other parts that wear out can be easily found too.

if i were you i'd rebuild the redtop before i go spend 2 grand.

clutches are easy to do and somewhat cheap. and if you get a shitty trans, you can always find someone on here who prob has one.

edit: oh shit i just re-read your post. it seemed like you ALREADY had a redtop. whatever, get whatever suits your budget/needs best.
