Default Is this a deal or not...

iight yall so i have been saving my money lately to go ahead and buy my motor, i have been looking for a soarer 1jz, finally when i have the money to buy what i want i cant never find it...all i have been able to find are chaser 1j's or supra 1j's

my SC is already 5spd so im not really in need of a tranny..FINALLY i come across a guy who is local to me who has a complete soarer longblock that has not been in a US car yet, it has Harness,m/t Soarer Ecu,Ignitor,Map Sensor, Ect ect...basically everything except tranny...the motor was originally a 5spd soarer motor..the guy wants $1400

Here are pics...you guys lmk if this is a fair deal or not...i honestly think 1400 is alil too much for a longblock..i can get a complete a/t soarer swap from Jhot for $1400 Shipped...









Yes, the motor seems to be decently clean but is this a deal or no deal for $1400????

I personally think it's a little too much. Is he pretty firm on the price?

But my boy did run a 13.4 @104 in his vvti 1j swapped SC...mods dp,exhaust,drag radials, ohhh and the car is auto

Look Brother call JHOT, ask for Zund ("Zune")! I paid 1200 for mine shipped, with extras!! I don't work for jhot but I can't stand to see a fellow member get stained/raped by some guy locally and can't return it

Jhot is the place to get one IF you can wait as they usually come with EVERYTHING, the problem with them is they never know what they are getting or when they will get it.
