I would find you and kill you if it were my motor. I've spent over $10k on my motor and over 2 years. If it got stolen, I'd be on it 24/7... you buy it, you take on the responsibility that goes with it. If it's mine, that means you get your ass beat farther than you can imagine.

Now what if someone bought an engine not knowing it had been stolen? Would you still beat his ass? I've gotten about 10 different engines in the last few years, kept some, sold others. I don't know the history on half of them. The other half, I pulled myself out of cars that had been totalled, bought from friends that had done the same, or gottent hem from junkyards. The half that I don't know the history on, I got from local people that seemed trust worthy, "I pulled this motor when I put in my b18..." If someone told me that, and it ended up being your stolen engine, and you shot me, wouldn't that make you feel like an ass??? It's all about the knowledge. If someone came out and and said it was stolen, I don't think I'd buy it. If I had just hydrolocked my engine, and it was my only car, and someone wanted to sell me a stolen d16z6 for 100 bucks, it would be a hard choice. Get to work on monday, or wait until I find something a couple weeks later... You can always find a ride to work, but Americans are so damn impatient. Put in the same situation, I'd pass on the deal he has.
