If my daily driver wasn't a turbocharged 5.7 litre V8, I'd consider picking it up with a box trailer. How much do you want for it and how complete is it?

it has intake manifold and exhaust manifold from memory (i no it has intake exhaust im not so sure) it has no injectors tho.
its a clean motor with no oil leaks around it really i was going to use it/build it up but dont have the time/money to.
i got it for $50 so thats all im after for it.
i got it through work.
just pm me if u want it and ill hold it for u.
