    For a running engine AND box, I think that's pretty good, especially with such low k's. Most mid conditions engines by themselves go for that much.

    Have a look at the prices on ebay and compare if your not conviced.

    turbo 700's are 3-400 on their own so yes, definitely good price. If its your mate, I'd assume he's looking after you too. Is that with all the bolt ons too

    yea thats an awesome price. proof is good, if u can grab the cluster to match the new engine. yes yes there is some concern around this, but vicroads will allow this with proof if u dont indend on selling the car duping ppl. i say why not. flamesuit on!

    whats wrong with ur old one? or is this for a project

    make sure you get a receipt as Vicroads will need it to change the engine number and they WILL run it through the stolen register so be sure its all legit.

    Yes includes all bolt ons, loom, ecu. pretty much everything it needs to run.

    Id say it will all be legit considering it came from the melbourne auctions as a writeoff.
