1500 for my motorset.

Only problem I had was running 15-17 psi on the sidemount which resulted in a blown head gasket.

Now she runs good again :-)

There are bunch of do it yourselfers in here and when you try to do something you're not familiar with to save a few bucks or because you have no choice, these things happens. Most electrical and turbo issues as the sheer age alone will almost assure you turbo issues.

$1700 shipped from Venus. Still running the crappy stock T25 and it's leaking oil past the shaft. Still runs like a raped ape though!

I paid $1700 + shipping for my front clip with rear suspension and LSD. It came with extras most clips don't have too like fenders and hood and only 70,073 KM.

Now if I could just find a car to put it in...

Hey 95ka24de,

I have 5 motorsets coming the 1st week of january! 1 has a deposit on it, one I have to give back to a friend who gave me a motor to give to another member of our forum, I'm thinking about putting one in my convertible (not quite sure yet) which leaves 2 left. If interested, let me know. At least you won't get a motor that's already busted as I do test them before they get to you.

I don't really like to call it rape actually. I feel that we were both consenting partners in the whole ordeal. Unfortunatly the Zoo keepers didn't feel that I truely had the capabilities to communicate with the ape and so wasn't able to properly specify if the ape was willing or not. The court has yet to make a judgment on the whole ordeal, but I think that once we get the ape on the stand and the jurors see the videotape of the incident, it will be quite clear that we are in love and that no cage will keep us apart...

Shipping to you is around $200. The only things the engine sets don't come with is a partial chasis. But it will have everything needed to make the car run minus the crappy SMIC.

Can't get a clip as they take up too much space in containers; and besides the fact that you won't be using half the garbage off it anyway. Like I said, everything else needed to start the car will be there (sometimes afm, sometimes not). The motor sets are around $1200-$1400 depending on overall completeness, cleanliness and accessories that re missing.

Ok, so update on the ape incedent. The jury decided in my favor. Missy and I will soon be living together and I think that I'll soon be the proud parent of the first human-ape baby. You can send donations to;FHABFA (First Human-Ape Baby Foundation Association)1515 SW 15th Apt 9Topeka KS 66604Please send return addresses and I'll include a picture of our happy family. Thank you for your support.

Hehehe, OK, I'm done with the ape joke now.

Boost_boy is the bombdiggity. He's one of our resident CA experts and won't steer you wrong. Plus we'd all chase him down and beat him like a red-headed step child if he did...

You'd get pictures if you want, but pictures mean nothing. I can take pictures of a an engine freshly cleaned and that thing could have melted pistons, a blown headgasket and even a popped timing belt. What I do is actually physically inspect the motor, compression test it and determine if it goes or if it becomes a spare parts engine. I have yet to find a bad engine. So relax, I do all the hard work for your money;) .

Motors are due in the 1st week of January! My friend said he ordered 5 motorsets in which one already is sold to a member who has put his deposit down, 1 belongs to a friend who hooked me up with an engine to provide to another member of our forum, 1 belong to me, which leaves 2 that are yet to be claimed. There's a possibility that a harness or some harnesses will be cut or missing, but he said he ordered complete sets, so I can only hope that they are complete. I personally do not need any harnesses as the 240 I'm building will be using a standalone system. If you want to put a deposit down on a motorset please email me at: [email protected] and we'll discuss it further. All deposits are refundable upon request if you have found a deal elsewhere on a motorset, but I do urge you or anyone interested to do so quickly. Whatever extra gadgets come on these motorsets will stay. So if you get some aftermarket cams, little black magic performance devices, BOVs, ot whatever, they stay. I have no use for none of this stuff (Trust me); not even to try and sell, so rest assure my honesty and integrity benefits you (the buyers) and satisfies me.
