Ronnie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Welcome to the forum newbieEl. I suggest you post your advertisement in the Buy/Sell subforum and include a price, your location, mileage and some photos. If you would at least give a price and your location there might be someone near you that would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Also when you say "threw a rod" do you mean out the side of the block ? Also without giving a location, you are not likely to get a meaningful response but 3800s are very common engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You do need to give more information and post some pictures if you want to attract buyers. Location and your asking price will eliminate many phone calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am open to advice as well. newbieEL I would check into a motor for your car. Here's why. You may find this hard to believe but I see in your vehicle description you have a portfolio that is complete. That portfolio can be sold separately for what a good used motor can be bought for. Then you would only be out the labor for the motor swap. That might be a better way to go then the beating you are going to take for trying to sell a Reatta with a bad motor...

padgett Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Here is a typical CL advt. Any "C" 3800 should just drop in. As can see from list juat about every large/premium BOP car 88-90 used the "C". One pictured is 89-90.
