    Update- engine and transmission purchased attempt begins and a few pics start on pg 5

    An auto dismantler has a 3.8 06 engine with 1000 miles on it that would fit my 07. Im very skeptical he does have 5 others to choose from but i obviously want the one with lowest miles. It has a compression rating of 190-200 I have the vin and am wondering if a carfax report would tell me more but they say it came out of a rear end wreck. Could this be a success? Has anyone or can anyone reccomend this option, what would you look out for?
