They are owned by Carl Wagner of Buick V-6 Fame.Worked directly with Buick on their Nascar program.Had two sold one locally for $6000.00.They were both offered to me about a month or so ago.I agree to rich for my blood.

What is this new or used taken out of a gn. Not much of a description! I see a black oil filter is this original. I also see the cam sensor laying on top?

Engine

they were both brand new never in a car.He did update the rear main seal on both engines.Iwas offered them first at 6000.00/pc than at 4000.00/pc but still to much for me.

just add another 2000.00 and go buy a complete running car.

It says GNX but it has a stock turbo shield?

 

[BuickTim]

They are not GNX motors,just standard Turbo motors.

sold for $4550, 2 bidders. price does not matter if it is something you really want. In today's world, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the buyer "rented" a GM gang stamp and imprinted the "correct" #'s on the block to make a #'s matching car. There are classified ads in many the car magazines listing gang stamps for rent.

You would be out about that cost if you have a shop remove, rebuild/machine, install and tune a damaged engine...

I know who bought it, & yes this person really wanted it.
