360 engine core question

Prices around here for a running 5.9 magnum out of a truck w/30 day warranty is around $600-700 for something with 120k miles.
"Running with a warranty " always costs 3 times what a mystery engine without a warranty does.

You could go to the wrecking yard and find the "best looking engine" in a car that has major collision damage, "assumed running fine and only ended up in there because of a wreck"

One should ask in this case what a warranty would really do for you, warranty to be a running engine... or warranty of it breaks... or just something to get you to pay more ...you decide.
