IF it is in good shape, that is not a bad price.
If it is beat and needs rebuilding, you are getting ripped off.
A JDM 7M-GTE engine with the works on the motor (CPS, turbo, injectors, harness, manifolds, oil pan, etc) is about $1100
R154 5 speed transmissions go for about $400
The only thing is, does it have low miles like the JDM engines
supposedly have.
Not to say that a low mileage engine can't be worn out, but just saying that they are usually low miles (stated that way at least) and people like that.
Now you live near Fort Lauderdale (I spent a couple winters in Fort L
), and so that is 30ish minutes from Miami.
And I know there is a JDM dealer in Miami.
Is that where you are getting it from?
