WTB: CLOSE SOLD - 5sfe, 94-95 Celica Options

[VavAlephVav]

I'm looking for a 5sfe that'll drop right in my 94 GT. I'd rather have one that you know is good instead of playing roulette with the motor from a random Camry from the salvage yard.
preferably would like to find one that somebody has already done work on and is good to go instead of buying one that has a bunch of miles and needs work.
So if you 're sitting on one that's been rebuilt, or you've got one that you've been meaning to rebuild you are just what I'm looking for.
I am smack in the middle of the map in Kansas City, freight from either coast would be in the neighborhood of $200 and that would be worth it to me IF the motor is that good, but I am kind of hoping I can find somebody closer like a Chicago, Indiana, Dallas, Denver kind of radius.
I want a Daily Driver that is stock and dependable, I know this motor is one of the most reliably built ones out there, I just need one that's been taken care of. if you have a Camry motor that you have already fitted with the Celica oil pan I'd accept that as well.

I am buying a motor one way or another the First week of September so you've got a little time if you want to rebuild that one sitting in your garage and get rid of it.

TY

I have a 5S-FE that came out of the G/F 99. I have to check a few things on it or I can rebuild it. What is your timeline?

Ill be happy to rebuild/refresh it and then send to you. let me know what you want.

I have one, needs rebuilt though... No transmission... Im located close in Carterville, IL Ill sell it for $200 if you come pick it up, then you can pay someone to rebuild it...

Done Deal. I'm buying the motor from Drumbum, it's got a recent head gasket and just needs rebuilding the front end. even by the time I pay shipping it's still less than any offer I got from salvage yards where I don't even know the history on it.
