EDITED ON 1-6-13!

For sale is a fairly fresh 84 block based 3.8 longblock with 87 heads (8445's, stock not ported). The rebuild was done by a NAPA auto parts about 10 years ago per the previous owner of this motor. It was 0 miles fresh when I bought it last year. I fired it up for the first time back in July of 2012 and have put about maybe 1000 miles on it. It runs really good, has good compression numbers (all cylinders are 150-160 psi), doesn't smoke, doesn't leak oil, no knocking, etc. Here is a list of the specifics:

- 84 GN block with 14 bolt oil pan

- stock 86-87 8445 heads unported, I think the headgaskets are Cometics because they are the steel shimmed style

- stock replacement type cam with all new stock replacement valve train parts

- stock rebuild with stock internals including crank (I believe it was just polished), rods, pistons, etc.

- oil drain has been tapped into the side of the oil pan for the turbo since the 84 block does not have a drain tapped in it

Make reasonable offer! Trying to get $800 OBO. I am located in Southaven, MS which is just south of Memphis, TN. Will not ship. You can call or text my cell at 219-241-1635 if you have any questions. My email is blackout87gn@hotmail.com also. Cash or paypal only.

I can testify that the engine runs very well. This would be a great deal for someone.
 
Thanks Kevin! Kevin rode in my car and helped tune this motor with my XFI system. I forgot to mention I can email a couple short videos of it running if you are interested. The quality is not the greatest but you can get the idea. It sounds good.
 
Price reduced to $2000 OBO on the motor only. Will still take $2500 for everything.
 
Be interested in a trade for the motor? I've got a nice solid 87 s10 with a TBI 350, runs good, or I've got a 89 2500 Chevy reg cab nice truck runs good needs paint solid straight body
 
Not looking for any trades but thanks for the offer! Need cash.

I may end up parting it out if it doesn't sell soon...hate to part out a perfectly good running motor but I need the money
 
Dang Don....you're tempting me with that intercooler. I've flirted with a front mount for mine for years. Except now..........if I were to buy it from you.........we wouldn't be able to just meet halfway because you're too far away now. :)

I still have a stock radiator with a huge trans cooler stuck to the front of it..........I may be creating more problems for myself than it's worth.
