not for sale.
i owe all of you an apology. when i bought this motor i wasn't aware that a vin tag is supposed to be on the block. i double checked under my hood and saw what you were talking about. i cleaned it off and low and behold it's my vin. i can assure you i DID NOT steal this motor. it was purchased with cash from some kid in meriden via a craigslist ad.
in the mean time this motor is not for sale. i'm deleting the original post and looking into this further.
on a side note, i need to know what to do now. i'd like to confirm if this motor is or isn't stolen. the vin tag missing is an obvious indicator of a stolen motor, and unfortunately for me i'd be out $2000. i'm 100% legit. the person i bought it from may not be. i do have morals and definitely am not happy about the engine i have right now. i know it's been more than a year since i purchased this, but would calling auto crime or whatever it is help me determine if this motor is in fact stolen or if it's just missing a vin tag? can something be done via the serial number under the engine code? if this turns out to be stolen, then i'm not really a happy camper. at that point i assume the engine would be gone, i'd be in some kind of trouble, and i'd be out a lot of money. i promise you i'm no thief, just uneducated when it comes to buying an engine from a private seller.
