I'm mostly asking about people who don't have PnPs near them do grab stuff from. I figure I found atleast three VH45s in cars that look well taken care of (though high mileage) so I figure I'll see if there are people that want me to grab them.

Oh, and mine are ~220 OTD with all the accessories

Yah, the PnPs in CA don't charge that much.

And there are like four of them within an hour of me.

Well I'm trading an incomplete rb20 swap for my vh45 motorset, so I dont think I'll need one. But if for any reason this falls through would you track one down for me, that I could pick up? I wouldnt mind compensating you for your time, this sounds like it would save quite a bit of money.

Thanks-Max

Eugene to Merced, CA is a ways to come for an engine, but I wouldn't mind pulling one as long as I know there's someone to sell it right back to.

s*** i bought mine with EVERYTHING minus the transmission for $150. They knew nothing about it so they sold it to me as a "rebuildable core". They just cut the harness and unbolted it from the transmission, also jacked the alternator, maf, and starter i believe... Little did they know that it was mint. Timing guides were replaced, thing was taken care of very well. All it needed was injectors and knock sensors.

Well i guess i basically described a long block lol.

I've read that PNP's in Cali are notorious for guys picking and pulling from customer vehicles in the parking lot. lol

Motor missing maf and TB with no harness was $150 for me and the timing guides had been replaced. And transmissions are $120 so I just got my T-5 transmission with clutch and pressure plate for $125 today and the transmission was new with only 10,000 miles on it. Our PNP is great....and the prices are cheap, if anyone is looking for something let me know and I'll tell you the price and we could work something out.
