don\'t know the seller or the engine but, pay with paypal and get a garage to check it prior to use and it will soon be evident if it was \' running perfect prior to removal\' :Talking1 and it isn\'t then its misadvertised and paypal should refund with a garage report. Check first thou and find out who built it.
 
£950 is a steal for a 1000 mile engine if all is good..

Might be worth posting the fact you have a blown engine in the for sale section, lots of people buy a blown engine to rebuild whilst their other 1 is still running, then when the original engine blows they have a spare so you might be in luck if someone wants to buy a blown engine :)

Mate, I was in the same situation a year or so ago.

I managed to buy a good low mileage block for £500 and put it in myself. Car is still going fine now.
