Unfortunately there is a saying and it goes something like this: "You get exactly what you pay for" and unfortunately that saying is true and when its too good to be true then we all know how that goes.

Embarking on an engine build and or swap on your own is challenging especially if you have never done it before. Many engines may look complete and then you end up missing parts that are either hard to replace or too expensive to replace.

Engine should cost you around 2500. A 700 engine will run like 700 dollar engine.

Shipping is expensive but same goes for anything to do with a car. Shipping a carbon fibre hood that weighs nothing costs as much as the hood itself. Shipping bodykit that weighs nothing is as much as bodykit itself. Engine is a bulky item that also weighs a ton. Most people do not factor that when they purchase it from someone. I am no expert on shipping but lets say that you were shipping one from New Hampshire to lets say New Mexico. Freight companies can ship your things but who will crate it up for you to fit their standarts? How much would it cost to deliver to shipping company (because they dont just drive to you with a front end loader or a forklift), how much would it cost to ship and how much would it cost for someone to pick it up and deliver and drop off your engine... and what if its dead on arrival?

So including shipping your engine should cost about 3000
