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! This post has been edited by pimped6gen: Jul 7, 2005 - 1:49 PM |

$2500, very good if it includes transmission, if just engine alone with ecu then not good.
Keep in mind that after $2500 you would have to spend more to fix or replace parts that are worn. I myself am in search for a 3rd gen motor to swap in late august. I hope I can get a hold of a front clip, but I am expecting to spend $6,000 total on just performance. Maybe actual cost won't be that much, but I just want to be financialy prepared because I have no intention on waiting over 1 month to finish the swap. My advice is don't go cheap and end up having major repairs down the line. Get it done once and make it last. |
