My son, who recently passed away, was in the process of building a Locost Seven. He purchased this JDM engine and disassembled it with the intent of checking it all out and reassembling with new gaskets.
It is in very good, almost new, condition. It is an absolutely fantastic engine in a Locost as anyone who has ridden or driven my Seven can attest.
It is in boxes at his house in Pelham, NH. As it is disassembled and as it can't be checked out as a unit, I would like to get $350 for it. He paid much more. These go for well over $1000 on eBay. There is a transaxle which I would include...perfect if you want to go At-om clone route.
Local pickup only.
Thanks for looking, PM or email at pharhen at gmail.com if interested.
Paul

Not sure what to say, but sorry for your loss. Not supposed to have to bury your own kids. Hopefully things are as well as they can be.

So sorry to hear of your loss, as Kristian said, not a path anyone should have to walk.

Likewise, I'd like to pass along my sympathies to you, Paul. Who would expect such a thing?

All the best,

A jarring thing to read. Can't imagine living through it. My soul cries for you.
