Got the motor out of the car and nearly cried~!

Upon pulling the motor of my 95 GST I heard some rattleing in the oil pan.

Once I got the oil pan off I saw metal shards pretty much covering the bottom of the pan.
I pulled this out of the block just floating around

As I kept my hopes up that I could reuse the block I found this nice hole in the block above the balance shaft............

I have been unable to find a motor within 100 miles.
So I'm thinking on an E-bay motor.
My question is has anyone bought a motor off e-bay was it a good motor ran well ect?

Also I noticed the block I have does not have oil squirters in it does that mean it was org a 4g63 N/T block?

bet your wishing you hadnt made the trade now eh? One thing I dispise lying bastards who sell cars/parts that they know are trashed and try to pass them off as "easily" repairabe. Id find the guy and make him feel like crap.

Surely you can find a motor somewhere. I just saw a 7bolt complete minus valvetrain for $100.00 local pickup in FL. There are deals out there just gotta look

If you're going to buy a junkyard engine, make sure you check the thing for thrust bearing play, amongst other things. I've had to find 7bolt motors at junkyards before, and you'd be surprised how many of them were 'out of spec'. Try to find a '99 motor if you can.
