JDM Acura Legend Motor on Ebay??

AKing · 05-26-09, 03:26 PM

Anyone ever purchased one of these imported JDM motors from eBay? I could get a motor with what they say has 40k miles, but how would you know how many miles are actually on the motor?

I think I could do a gasket job on an engine thats been pulled. Anyone know the average price for a shop to install an Acura motor? Is installing a Legend motor more difficult than your typical motor?

Any feedback will be helpful! Thanks.

I have bought one, and installed it here at my house.

It put down some impresive numbers and ran strong on daily basis

you will however have to do a little bit of wiring and hose rerouting

unless you want to buy mine =DDD and it comes with stock engine mount brackets already on it so you dont have to do anything but drop it in, and hook up hoses =D
