hi.
re "extremely cheap running engine that they don't want"...........
well, all my engines are valuable to me.
but what falls under 'extremely cheap' for you ..............500 bucks ?
 ( I imagine you're thinking well under that )
I have about seven  1.9 waterboxer engines altogether,  in various
conditions.
I'm about 6  hours, or even a little less,  from you,  if you're traveling
in a decent vehicle.
