    Question should I trade my engine for rotiforms?

    Someone said he'd trade me his 1 week old rotiforms and tires for my refurbished 2.7 with harness, ecu, turbos, sensors, etc.. Should I do it? Let me get some opinions please. This is an extra engine I have

    Lol guaranteed the motor is worth more than the Rotiforms. Ask for cash on top

    Rotiforms range from 1000-5000
    Tires range from 400-1500
    It's hard to say without details on them.
    Engine is worth 1000-1500 at most.

    OP, figure your engine setup is probably worth $1000-$1500. Maybe a little more if it's been fully refreshed (to the right buyer).

    It's not "guaranteed". How could you make an intelligent judgement without knowing what model the wheels and tires are?

    Regardless of model, it'll still look good when the "unrefreshed" motor inevitably breaks

    Why people entertain threads like this is beyond me. Zero info given and in the end it all boils down to a personal preference.

    ya I kinda thought maybe it wasn't worth it because the guy was super happy when I brought up the deal. Either way, I paid $25 for the long block so I'm not losing absolutely anything

    Cast rotiforms are junk, if you hit up some of their third party dealers you can often get them for less than $700 a set... don't do it.
