Just wondering if anyone has any experience. I'm looking for an engine and have been going through Facebook Marketplace. Lots of ads for engines. But, when I click on them I find the sellers are extremely attractive Hispanic women who appear to live hundreds of miles away from Boston. Here's an example, if you click through the seller's profile, it reports she works at McDonalds. Example

Maybe they think that you dont really need an engine and these attractive, young women will be able to "get your motor running"?
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

I've seen the same thing in my area down here. The images of the engines and shop look like stock photos found on line, but its always a Hispanic woman/girl who has the account. The one down here when you click on the person posting takes you to a young lady that has nothing but baking and cakes on her page.
I'm wondering if these are accounts that have been hacked and the person doesn't realize it?
Unless the ad ties into a local business, I would avoid it.

Get on a more dedicated Mopar facebook forum, like B Body Mopars, or MCG, Mopars Unlimited (assuming your looking for a mopar mill?) better group of people, plenty of cars, parts, engines, transmissions, services, etc, etc, etc

They are just figuring out new ways to get a guy who will eventually get them their "papers"...LOL
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
