The ones I have seen are not. You must speak softly to them in Spanish and use good break-in oil.Does anyone know if these engines are pre-run and the cam broken in?
But sometimes, they're prices are higher.
cerveza or tequila would be my guess.Should I provide any wine?
Bob,Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to go with the first one and keep things on the simpler side. I can avoid having to buy a lot of parts that the other 2 engines would need.
As for Summit, it says completely free shipping. The only thing I'm not sure of is how this is delivered. A lift gate would be needed so I don't have to go out on a busy street with my engine crane.
I might have to pay extra for that. (will check on that)
You mean to tell me you don't have a forklift...
just remember ,,,,,,,
Unloading engine to end result!!!!!

Don't think I'm gonna document it quite that far but I'll see what I can do. Engine is all unhooked and ready to pick up and out! The new engine will be delivered Monday and all the new parts arrive today and tomorrow.
I confirmed with the trucking company that it is a lift gate so no fork lift needed. (wrecker is sleeping for the winter and all tucked in under a comfy car cover)
Can't beat the speed of a crate engine. (my first one) I'd probably just be dropping off a block & heads at the machine shop about now... 
I'm lovin' this global warming too. It's about 60 degrees here and will be for a few days at least.

Your moving right along on this project Bob. And yes the weather has been great( I love global warming too!). One exception, it's way too warm for hunting.
I think if you fix the Jeep's wipers, that ought to hold off the bad weather for a few more weeks.
What about the 63,is it done???
Heck no!
New engine is here but no pics yet, it's raining.
Got the old one out yesterday and I can say the cam plugs are not leaking. There seems to be a small gap on the rear side of the pan near where the dipstick is. I can push a thin metal ruler through! I guess that's where it's leaking from, can't see anything else leaking. Maybe it was leaking from there all along.

Looks great Bob.
