Sourcing a L24 engine for rebuild in Pacific Northwest area

[peng155]

Hello Folks,

Can anyone suggest a source where i can purchase a used L24 long block for a rebuild project... I'd like it to be somewhere in the Seattle/PNW region so I can go check it out in person as opposed to buying something over the internet sight unseen..

Thanks

@Racer X has a collection of cars.  Might be willing to part with some parts.

If you are willing to drive up to Snohomish you'll find almost 100 sitting around in a warehouse. Do you want one that is close in spec to what you are removing from your car or will any engine do. Place is called ZSpecialities, 360 668 2979. He advertises on CraigsList quite often.

Thanks for the info... I did do a search on craigs list and found another place up in Snohomish and dropped them an email already.. I'll give Zspecialties a jingle as well

Yeah, that's a good question. I've been wondering that myself.

Asleep.

Seriously, life has been a bit crazy. Mom was diagnosed with late stage Alzheimer's so I have guardianship and conservatorship duties, then Covid hit. Then the timing belt broke in my 2005 Legacy Goon.

Then Mrs. Racer 2.0 fell and broke her ankle. Then she fell and broke her wrist.

Then our oldest grandson was killed in a head on collision a couple years ago last November. He was in the Army, stationed at Ft. Bragg, the 82nd Airborne. He was out with some buddies on a Sunday evening and some guy got on the freeway going the wrong way. Killed the other guy, my grandson, a kid and girl in the backseat of his car and the kid riding shotgun lived with serious injuries. No alcohol or drugs were found in any of the victims.

As if life wasn't dealing me enough bad cards, Mrs. Racer 2.0 passed away last February. I came home and found her on the couch, looking like she had laid down to rest. She died in her sleep, the coroner said atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (hardening of the arteries) with WHO Class 2 obesity as a contributing factor.

Tuesday after Memorial Day I came home from work to find a water line had broken in the wet bar upstairs. Half my house was flooded. The contractor just finished up last week and now I am moving back into the house that I built 16 years ago.

Last October I had my right hip replaced. The left one was done 13 years ago, and it took that long to get the right one as worn out.

I did get up to Alaska for the holidays. Saw psychedelic skies and shot a bunch of pretty cool guns.

So yeah, here we are.

Regarding an engine, Ollie is the guy to ask. In fact I need to ring him up myself, I'm considering using one of the non EGR fuel injection manifolds on a build I'm planning.

Stay tuned.

Thanks man.

I remain optimistic. Everyday I wake up on the green side of the grass is a good one.
