Wow...that is way too much for a 1jz motor and just the motor at that. Go to this website http://www.japandirectjapanese.com/home.php?cat=2 to order your engine and it comes with wire harness, ecu and transmission for $2,381.01. Or http://www.jdmenginedepot.com/jdm_engines/Toyota if you just want the engine $1,599 and by the time you have it shipped to a shop it's still no where close to $5gs, maybe after paying for labor and misc parts you'll be a little bit over $5gs but not by much. If that shop is giving you that price for the engine I would think about looking for another shop it sounds like they are trying to rip you off...
