I was about to buy this long block, i made an offer at $1800 and he said he can do it for $1900 which still isnt bad, but after reading more into it, it says "up for auction is a BARE BLOCK" is this a scam, what do you all think?

Where I read it, it says 'bare engine'. I've never heard of that term before. However, I have heard many, many complaints from people that deal with Schram face-to-face even thought their feeback doesn't seem to show it...

not that you care but, "intake is cracked, will likely need replaced". That means at least it comes with the intake, and more than likely heads underneath the intake.

Are you emailing them or calling them? Call them. Click on there contact link.
