Hey guys, so I've been searching for a b18c1 engine to drop into my eg. Just trying to find something on the cheaper side that I could rebuild myself for the experience but I really won't be able to drop in in till summer even if I do find one so I'm not trying to rush anything. Anyway found an alright one but the guy doesn't have a papers for it. He swears that he bought it legitimately ad even called up Acura recently to try to figure this out but he never got the papers for it. Don't really want to deal with it if it's going to be a problem but $900 for complete swap seemed like it was worth at least asking. So here's the question;
If I were to purchase the engine could I just have him sign a bill of sale and be fine with that. I live in Cali so I'll be getting the car BAR'd when I'm done, so will a bill of sale from him be good enough for the reffs if the engines actually legit like he says it is. If so I'm going to ask him for the vin and double check it on carfax but I just want to make sure that just a bill of sale from this guy will be enough
