Well who knows how long it'll be around. And yeah...I'm sad about it. But I picked up an 09 which I love as well...so I guess it's just time to start over.

 

Yeah I do, thanks for looking out!

Now I'm debating between my rebuild or dropping this in my GC. Money however is a huge concern at the situation I'm in. Very tempting though. Sorry to hear about your accident man. Hope everything is alright.

 

If it helps, the block does NOT have the port on the top for oil return for the avecs

 

only if you where in cali...

 

Pay for shipping and I'll get it to you.

 

LOL. The AVCS ports are on the heads.

 

Lol that's actually what I was orginally thinkin! I've never messed with avcs before. On the 257 I have, there is a nipple (prob about 1/2" dia) that's capped off below the throttle body, kinda towards where the pcv valve connects to the block, that I was told was an oil return for avcs...

 

You were misinformed. That is to help balance crank case air pressure. The AVCS valve covers have 2 vents at the top rear. The larger diameter ones (closest to the rear of the engine) come together through a hard pipe and "T" into the passenger side block half below the throttle body.

 

Say when my car finally gets here, I'll take a pic and show ya what I'm talkin about

 

Its xmas time! surely someone knows someone who wants an engine!

 

Update: I have the motor in my possession. It's still gorgeous and makes me sad to get rid of.

 

Assist bump :[

 

<3 Maybe you'll get enough $ and this will still be here since NO ONE wants a sexy engine...psh..

 

I mean.... who'd pass up this awesome opportunity. RIGHT?!

 

Buy it someone!
