thats a pretty good price, looks clean, and comes with rear crossmember and diff setup, not that its much good to most of the folks on here. Good for a project car prehaps.

I already looked into that one, and the EPA changed the rules last year (Jarco will likely confirm it too) and you cannot import an engine still installed on a chassis. I asked this seller, and he didn't appear to know about this law and is still trying to sell it as is. Given that paypal is not an option here, I wasn't willing to bite on this one. Plus, while the asking price is reasonable, the shipping costs and customs fees are very high.

it's kind of cheap but i dont like how you have to wait 1-2 months to get this clip. i've already talked to him about importing the beams engine and he told me i have to wait almost 2 months.
