should I offer money?

For the price of what he might want for that motor you can put an EJ in your car. Total spent on my car for JUST the engine swap 400.00 i traded for most of the stuff but for fair value i did the harness myself just copying a friends and everything els is gravy engine prety much bolts right in with the adapter and flywheel you get it to mate to the tranny but engine mount holes are the same. im just saying a 2.2 will blow the doors off most ea82 turbos ( I SAID MOST) right out of the box and will live to tell the tail the turbo might not be so lucky haha.

 

Rob...

AT last another number, ($400). That helps, although I'm not sure I can do as well... not much to trade etc etc.

Yeah, pretty much got all excited by the nice clean fresh engine all ready to go... but there is the (mpfi) wiring, cross-member, ecu... really a little more work than the ej, and for what? less power and reliability?

so... I'll let it go and see what I can find elsewhere
