Seized 3sgte, $50 good deal? Options

[MaskedMan]

Hey i know a guy that wants to sell me a seized 3sgte Block and head for $50, i was just wondering if it was even worth it to get it. I mean, $50 is pretty cheap, but it's doesn't run. I thought maybe it could go towards a 5sgte project but im not sure. What do you guys think?

for 50 bucks its worth trying to get running!

yeah well he just assumes that it is seized, but he really doesnt know whats wrong with it. Haha i have another 3sgte in my Alltrac that is having problems already haha, But the 5sfe in my vert is perfect =). haha but if anything, they think the block may be bad, so thats why i figured, ok 5s block, ge head ok. Yeah i know its going to be a long hrad project but, uh $50 should atleast be worth it for a spare head alone. Well atleast i think so...

I'd get it for $50!! I'm sure there will at least be salvageable parts worth that much

ok i just got more news on this, and the guy just needs it out of the way. So the final price is $75-$100 for the Block, Head, Exhuast mani, Turbo, Intake mani, and Alternator, uhh pretty much the whole engine. Im just excited about getting the AFM cuase i think thats whats wrong with my Alltrac haha.

^^ Want to sell the rest of the motor?

Well, the engine doesn't run, so i was hoping to take it apart and see if i can fix it, and at the same time learn more about the 3sgte, which may help me on the road to fixing the one in my Alltrac. Even though in the Alltrac, i just think i need to replace the head gasket on it, and perhaps a few broken wires. But all i need now are the tools, and the space.

I also need an engine stand so i can actually move the engine around. Anyone know if anywhere is having like a special deal on them haha.
