if your importing from outside of the us, 1100 won't even cover shipping after broker fees to make sure it clears
customs smoothly.. but i mean, more power to you if you can find one here thats cheap.... the only possible way i see this even remotely happening for that cheap, is if by some mirracle you can source every single part individually for a great deal... ie: good block from someone, good head from someone else, and then trying to find all the accessories along with a wiring harness and ecu, along with all the other many little parts? that would be a nightmare.... my best advice to you would just be to put your 1100 in the bank, and keep putting a little more away each month until christmas and then talk to our best member to talk to about ordering swaps, and that would be the main man _JIM_ that would be your easiest and smartest route.... i know it sucks to wait, but its better to wait now and have zero- very few problems later, rather than to buy a junk engine, or manage to get a decent engine but having a million problems because you don't know whats what with the setup... hope i could be of help. -------------------- NOVAKx17
