Somebody from Arizona purchased all of the front end body parts and the seller is basically left with an engine and a busted-up gearbox. It is sitting in one of those E-bay drop off stores in Colorado.

The seller purchased the wrecked car at an auction. I would usually bid on this engine, but the bell housing was shoved very hard into the engine block which means that certain internal parts are probably bent. You may be able to get a good top side of the engine if you needed it...
