The new engine arrived today. This is what it looks like. It was not cleaned before leaving the salvage yard. I truely believe it has only 850 miles on it. It is spotless!
$1500 and $150 shipping. Sweet! It came from a 2011 that was toatled with 850 miles on it. Yes, 850! and its a CBUA (a BGP is in it now). There are some minor differences in the add-ons and a few of the sensors have different part numbers (or letters), but I can swap over the different stuff from the old motor. One oddity is it has two single-wire oil pressure switches on the block, whereas the BGP has oneswitch, with two wires, but on the filter housing. To be safe I will use the old pressure switch and move the filter housing over and just leave the new pressure switches installed to plug the holes. There is also some sort of sensor near the oil pan and the Bentley manual does not cover it. My manual goes up 2009, so that must be a newer add-on. All the drillings and the block and head castings seems to be the same though. At this point, if something major won't bolt up, I will just have a fit.
