Received my engine today
I took ownership of my new engine today. Now it's time to strip all the unwanted parts off and take a good look see. Once I strip it down I will post a video with a walk around. If anyone is like me, you have spent hours looking for a good video of the engine, or even good pictures. This is a 2010 Honda Fit l15a7 engine.

I'd suggest looking for one locally using www.car-parts.com. I believe what you want is a 2009-2013 engine that was came from a car with an automatic transmission. You'll want the starter, alternator, coils, wiring harness when the pull the engine.

I paid 1175.00 for a complete engine with all accessories . I did run a VIN check on engine and found out that is is NOT a 2010 with 12k miles like salvage yard said. It is a 2011 with 17153 miles. I found the old auction for this salvaged car. Car came from IL. and was hit in drivers door. I check with simple digital systems and they have already supplied computers for others with this engine.
