Here's the engine description:

2000 5S-FE (crank sensor, 2 coils)
50-60K Miles
Head, block and intake manifold included (injectors, fuel rail, throttle body and I believe the exhaust mani as well)


For $856 import costs included (I'm in PR, can't find them locally)

Not sure, but I'd try and find an OBDI 5S to make life easier.

Looking to upgrade, not buy the same thing I have again.

I have a megasquirt controlling my engine, not the stock ECU. So anything that is cable throttle can be in my engine bay, but I want to keep the simplicity of the 5S with some upgrades here and there.

Ahh ok. Could look into V6 swapping. Eh, I suppose $850 imported isn't bad for a newer 5S. I'd have to look around the web to gather what they've been going for.

Newer 5S blocks are perfect for making a 5SGTE hybrid.

Buying a wrecked donor for a couple hundred $ and then selling off a few pieces could bring the cost to zero

Yes. The only non performance part of the 5S is the head and that is arguable tongue.gif It's one of the reasons I want a 98+

Nobody sells them around like in the US. 98+ are pretty rare as is.

I wanted the 98+ because of a lot of things. If I was just looking for any engine I'd go for it. frown.gif

1mz costs over 1000.

3sgte costs over 2200.

Engines have to be shipped overseas plus they have to make something out of it.

It also is a 2000 engine, not 1994.
