If any of you were following my posts earlier this year you will remember that I drowned my GT and in the process damaged the engine.  I have managed to get hold of a replacement engine and had it installed and now I am in the long and tedious process of waiting for it to be inspected by Qld Transport to have it removed from the "Written Off Vehicle Register".  I was lucky, only a 12 week waiting list, so hopefully on or about 2/7/15 my car should be back on the road again instead of languishing in my garage.

Anyways, I have the old engine which is damaged. It had 77k on it at the time of its demise.  I have had it started and it was making a horrible knocking noise, but did run, I managed to drive it out of the garage for the tow truck.  When the mechanic pulled it out to install the replacement engine, he drained the oil and said it was milky.

I am wondering if anybody would be interested in buying it from me.  I was going to keep it with a view to maybe one day rebuilding it to re-install in the GT, matching numbers and all that, but in reality I will probably never get to it, and I'm thinking somebody else may have a better use for it.

If anybody is interested, you can PM me with an offer.  However, I have a vague idea of what it's worth, even in it's less than perfect state so please, no silly low-ball offers, I'm not desperate to get rid of it.  I am only selling the engine, not the gearbox, it has the clutch still attached, also the plenum and throttle body.
