Reach out to Botond (az3579). He needs one for his ZHP if this is a ZHP motor. He won't need the transmission though because his is a manual.

Also sent you a pm :cool

Is it a ZHP engine? Or at least a 3.0 liter M54 ?

Any chance someone else is selling a ZHP engine ?

I am not aware of anyone else selling a ZHP engine. You have to keep looking but I would not advise just picking one up to have unless you know the motor has been maintained like the one that just sold.

Good to know cakM3.
I would be better buying from a known
member than eBay, FB/META, CL etc.
In a situation like this. A forum like ZHPMafia is most beneficial.

HOPEFULLY, for my sake something shows-up, or I am up
the creek without the proverbial paddle.

Sounds like there is a performance exhaust on his car. My ZHP does not sound like that and it is bone stock.

Look at that video again, specifically the gauge cluster. That should be a tell tale.

It's running. Fired right up, which was a nice surprise considering that motor sat in a climate controlled storage room for 13 years. 32k mile motor however.

Not surprised since you had the motor stored in a climate controlled storage area. That is key. Glad to hear it is running well! Jelly that the motor has only 32k on it. My S54 has 184k miles on it but it is still running strong :)

Hi StockXGarage,

I guess Northern Ca is too far.

Yeah it is a good one for sure. Need the new bumper to be painted and the rocker cover, and then off to paint correction etc. Need to also track down two new front door cards and a driver seat.

Car sounds very solid! Well done!!! By the way if that Marine decal on your rear window is yours and you have served, thanks for your service!
