I was looking around at some of the crate engine sources and I saw a variety of prices. Does anyone know a rough ballpark for what a 5SFE should cost on average?

jspecautosports.com $895 !!!! ???? kindasad.gif http://www.jspecautosports.com/catalog_pro...spx?prod_id=428

(it says engine only but then goes on to list all this other stuff that is included. strange)

orientengine.com $2200

powerpro200.com $2545

Have you considered a low mile 5sfe from a junk yard? I bet you can get a decent one shipped to you for under $500. No sense in putting a new economy engine in a fairly old car unless you were planning to keep it for a VERY long time. Even then, the other route would be better since those engines have been known to last 300,000 miles.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
