Came across this website for a cheap reman engine. Cheaper than a rebuild kit.

Sounds too good to be true.

I probably will soon. I'm thinking about doing a rebuild, but if this isn't a hoax, I'd definitely go with this.

Note that this is the old style 1.8L engine, not the same as the 77-81 LUV engines.

I thought the cutoff for the old engine was '75?

The Little Rock franchise had this same picture with a little different description listed on e-bay for a good while. I was led to believe it was the old style engine with the intake/exhaust on the same side so I lost interest. Before I bought it as a replacement for the G180Z I would confirm.
