Need A Running Engine

I am posting on the off chance that anyone has a running VTR engine for sale. It would save a lot of time and hassle just to swap out a good used mill for my less than perfect one.

I am about 70 miles north east of Dallas, Texas.

I am just getting my new engine rebuilt and will have a running engine that I can sell but I live in Wisconsin and have no clue on how to get it to you. it is still in the bike right now. so I can show you that it is running.

Thanks Stumpy,

This is the problem I am finding. I can find and engine but they are all over the country. Shipping adds probably $250 to the cost of the motor and the cheapest engine I have found is in the $600 range.

Well let me know what you decide but I will give you a good price. but before I can do that I have to get it out of the bike and make sure that I do not need something off of it first. But that should not take long depending on the shop doing it.

I have to do the same and get the old engine out. I am not looking forward to it at all.

I found this on Craigslist, it's cheap enough, but I don't know how much I trust people on Craigslist.

That's a great deal and a great buy. If I was within driving distance I would jump on that just to have a spare motor. As it stands I am going to put a used crank and rods in mine with new bearing shells.
