ok guys i am in need of help...i am ready to complete a sale for a 3sgte motor-st205 3rd generation.
The guy i am purchasing from said he spent about $3,500 for the motor shipped and i have bargined with him while telling him i can get clips for $2,500 shipped. He came down to $2,500 and said it is mine if i want it...the engine has only 21,000 miles on it and has an uncut ecu etc...
all it needs is the map and a few little other things
I need to know if i should go through with this or not...i need your input! is 2500 for a 3rd gen -260 horespower motor to expensive?! I believe it is but please let me know becaues i am very close to buying this!

I can remember the days of wanting to be swapped well still but we'll see. I dont know how adament you are about gettin a 3rd gen 3sgte, but I got a complete wrecked 91 turbo MR2 for 800$ that I was able to part out and then keep the rest of what I needed for a swap. I am unsure about your 5th gen alltrac population in your area but here there are tons of them and I know people have gotten them as well for mr2 swaps and so forth.

I still question weither or not the swap is worth it. I have been making the deal and hopefully will go down soon for a 1995 GT4 shipped to Vancouver, BC for 8k total. I know I have to make it legal but having a RHD celi and AWD and one of the very few of them in the states will be nice. something to keep in mind.
