After adding an extra ventillation hole to our motor (which saw only 4 laps of total time, stupid used JDM motors...):

We decided to buy this motor that Marty found:

This thing has never, ever been installed in a car... Came as a complete US longblock (with EGR crap, etc) from Nissan. Started, but never installed. The motor, literally, has ZERO miles on it.


Yes, that's inspection paint...



I only cleaned it with some simple green. Didn't even need a brush, the only thing dirty about it was the dust on it. Didn't clean any of the ports or scrape the gasket off the exhaust side. Motor was so fresh, the paper gaskets on the intake manifold, etc, came off in one piece...
