You can by a rebuilt head off of ebay for around $450. If you by a JDM motor you have a chance of getting a motor that is old and worn out.

well i dont think i have all th parts with the engine i have now. so im not sure wh at i want to do.. how much can i get a rebuilt engine for? are they even that great? i was looking at jspecautosports' rebuilt engine with a 12 month unlimited mile warrenty. i dunno how much it cost though. i just want to get this damn thing going. if i buy a used or rebuilt engine i would be popping in a MHG anyway along with some of the better parts i have now.

im just not sure what i want to do anymore!:cry:

what up, well im in vancouver,

and basicaly picked up a car in similar needs..

my car was a n/a and i picked up a jdm 7mgte from jspecauto, it was 1475 to my door and took a month to recive my motor, i have heard people purchasing motor's localy though engines dealers and getting better deals..


i have a n/a head that i can sell yeah, it came off a car with a blown head gasket, and i think it's warped, doesn't come with cams, but i have alot of other stuff, also have an n/a block im tring to get rid of...

i was thinking 50 bucks, because thats' about what i would get if i scraped this, (aluminum is about 1.25 a pound..)

well if interested, give me a pm.

the worst part is the drivers seat, and obviously that everything is dirty, but i'm sure that considering the shape of the door panels, everything else would clean up nice.

Get ahold of Aaron @ www.rabidchimp.com

he is in Cali right now doing an on-site 6M install so give him a bit to get back to you. I will call him and give him a heads up. He's in Tacoma. You could probably have him come down and do the install. Good Guy.
