Ill tell you straight up .. 1200 miles may or may not be true but the engine looks like its a 30 or 40 thousand mile motor someone threw a intake manifold on i just dont see that much dirt and grease from 1200 miles unless it was in a tractor.

thats why your having problem selling it.

at least paint it before you put it up for sale and it would sell much faster.

I understand, but I'd rather not try to hide anything. There allot of people out there who paint a motor and tell a good story
