Daaaaamn! Congratulations!


I paid $600 shipped for my engine. I'd say somewhere in the ballpark of $800 shipped for the combination?

One thing to keep in mind: most of these JDM engines are literally chopped out of the cars. Someone basically just takes a machete to the wiring harness until they can lift the engine out. You can reuse your USDM wiring harness, but it'll require some slight modifications.

Yessurrrr. eBay ftw!
