shud luk fur spell check dude.
How is it difficult for a kid who is in, or just finished school to type properly ? Do you write your resume with internet talk ? or proper words ?

Things to look for,
Cas is there, oil leaks, if the engine harness is cut or not, intake manifold accessories are there, ( it will be obvious if something is missing as there will be a hole or a really clean spot ) pulley's are there with engine accessories, open the valve cover and check out the cam's and head, if its sludge'd offer low as you will have some work to clean it out, coilpacks and harness are attached properly.

To sum it up, check it over and make sure everything is attached still, you want the harness to be uncut, ( makes wiring it in easier as you can find the wires easier then searching.) make sure you get the ecu.

after that its a gamble just like everyone else that buys a SR

I would not recommend buying an engine swap from a random person when I did not see the engine running. If something is fucked up after you swap it in, doubt that person would be willing to help you out. Atleast if you got it from a shop, they got some kind of start up warranty and if small shit is fucked up, most shops will swap you another part to get your car to run.

If you had to ask this, u should walk away. Not the last sr in the world, save your self a head ache. Look for a complete running one or go to a shop.
