I saw this on ebay and thought you guys might want to know this..... mainly the ones waiting for a motor.

Don't know if it is the same company but it is in the same area.....

NOt likely, what about harness and ECU....the only way I see that as a good idea is if they are replacing a blown RB25

but there is still no reason to say something like "dude it doesnt come with anything cept the motor and transmission"

i know its not meant for a swap but Grumpy is helping the nico board.

and kamin theres no reason for your reply as well flame someone else. for the price the intention is good and nothing against grumpy. but for a few hundred more and after shipping it'd be worth getting the clip to sell off the rest. true not everyone needs a clip but for the money anyone shells out they should be able to get the most for their buck...these are my views and intentions when i posted that. if you look at the motor pic it looks pretty haggard and if youre not local it could be a quick way to loose 1000 bucks...but everything is a chance. thanks again kamin for your support.

flame? when did i flame?trust me, if i flamed you, you would know it.

and where do you find a clip for a few hundred more than 1000? last I heard rb25 clips were going from 2500-3500$ because im looking for one right now. in fact im having no luck finding one in stock for under 3500$.

i agree the motor looks like **** but some people may need a good engine for a rebuild.

Looks like the transmission is gonna be mine to pick up! If the auction doesn't end he says...

I don't think it will go for 1,000. It looks like poo poo.

I think I'll wait a few more days actually to see how the auction goes. If it ends up being around 1,000$ I will bid on it and I could pick it up and take the transmission off... and then sell the head to your friend.

Then I would be stuck with the shortblock though. He wouldn't want that?

How much would he pay me for the head if I won the auction?
