Default buying an engine that had a (pretty good) fire

Hey guys, I searched quite a bit and couldn't really find anything on this topic.


I am in need of an engine for cheap, and I found an LQ4 that had a fire that I can get for 4-500 bucks.

It looks pretty rough, but I wasn't going to be able to use the intake, wiring harness, etc anyway.

The only thing I would want it for is the long block. Engine has just over 30,000 miles on it.


Is this a terrible idea to get this engine??

You can get a non-toased LQ4 for ~600 dollars. Keep looking

I see a wall and a dark thing. I wouldn't spend 400 on that dark thing IMO.
