What's up with the blue and yellow silicone hoses? Probably been beat on before, and I doubt it has 35k miles. I'd buy it if it was less than 8 hours away.

Yes the turboed RL guy said it used to be his engine and he basically blew it up.

The thread is my block discussion which is 8 pages long.

I'm not sure how that guy got my engine or why hes selling it, but I knew it was mine because he forgot to take the blue wire covers off and the small yellow rubber hose I had off the breather. Just a heads up, Good luck with the project, I have faith.

You think it will pass emissions? If so do you plan on starting to sell these beasts? Talk about money! If I am forced to keep my legend I would definetly get stuff from you if I had the dough!

Hey, so the Legend's tranny still functions properly even though one out of the six bolts didn't line up correctly to the 3.5's block?

So far, do you feel that you will not have any problems in the long run? Do you feel that the engine will still be reliable?

By the way, Great job man. Seems you have a lot of talent. Hope we can see more of your work.
