And the catch is that the motor won't be coming out of the car for another month or so. The motor, when it comes out, will be located at Dr. Tweaks new venue down in Georgia.

As for the motor, the good is that it's a VERY clean specimen, doesn't leak, pic in profile. The bad is that it gives a puff of smoke on start up after sitting for extended periods of time, and there's a bit of valve chatter which is most likely an actuator. Runs like a champ. Motor has 126.5K miles currently, and will have NO MORE than 130K when it comes out.

I'm selling everything that's NOT used in the 3S-GTE swap for FAIR MARKET VALUE (I.E. best offer). Whoever buys it is going to be responsible for shipping from Dr. Tweaks shop, or pickup of motor.

Good luck with the sale. For point of reference, I got $200 plus shipping for my 98,000 mile 5sfe in perfect working order.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
