Another NSX owner needs an engine.
I started a new job in southern Lousiana, (Morgan City, La.) and passed a red '96 and pulled him over to introduce myself last week.
Nice guy, Link.
He came by the airport last night and said his engine blew up.
From what he describes his Dynamic Balancer came apart but the end result is he needs an engine.
He's from Beaumont, Tx., where the car is now, (he works on oil rigs out in the gulf and we fly them back and forth) it happened near an Acura dealer there in Beaumont.
They told him $24,000 as we all know isn't far off from right for a new engine.
Does anyone know of a near 80,000 mi. replacement in exhistance?
If so let me know and i'll get him in touch.
He has been to Prime but isn't a member so I told him to get registered and that would help.
I'll get with the usual sources, Larry B, Chris at SoS, Ken Sampson, Danny, etc, etc... and see but if anyone has one and wouldn't mind helping another NSXer. I'll help him get it sorted and hopefully save him some money.

Cheers

It should not be too difficult to find a used engine. Typical prices are $4-6K for a 3.0-liter, $8-10K for a 3.2-liter. Check the "NSX Parts for Sale" forum here on NSXprime.
 
Thanks guys, i'm sure Lincon will appreciate it as I do for helping another NSXer out.
"Sexy Red", Danny, has contacted me with one for sale and I e-mailed Chris at SoS about his but nothing from him yet.
Anyone know any of the history of the one on E-Bay?

The harmonic balancer, are people upgrading or using new stock ones?
