So a friend is selling a s13 sr20det pretty much just a block and head no intake crank etc for $150

Should i pass it up? it seems like a great deal to me, and ive always built KA-Ts but its dirt cheap for my area, what do you guys think?

It depends How much are you willing to put into that engine. IE Oil squirters, valves, springs, cams.... if it for you. If for someone elce to resell later then why not. a warped head or cracked block someone would pay 300+ for that so.... and the head if same result busted or looking to do a fresh head then yeah

He said that it was bought offline and was going to fully build it so its been checked for warpage.. the block has been hot tanked and honed.. by once again another friend who is a machinist by trade. he just has to get it gone cause hes getting out of 240s and moving in next month.... i think im going to get it.. just to resell or just have it lying around next to my other random parts taking up space in my shop haha

Well if it is your own shop then i would say get it and build it because then it can be a good centerpiece when people come in and then if some guy off the street wants u to do the swap for him u can sell the engine built and ready to go for a quick turn around
