try to buy it local or somewhere you can drive to so you can look at it and inspect it before you buy it... make them perform all the tests (leak down, turn the crank, comp test etc etc) if they are not willing to do those tests they dont want your business...

but anyway sorry i know nothing about illinois import car shops... just got to google or ask around town to people who have swaps

^^^i have done ebay. j-hot but i think they changer thier name. and these people

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOT...item35b4fda52c


i got an identical setup like that. the ignitor wasn't included and is like 75 beans extra. but so far so good. i will swap oil pans here soon so i will see what condition the bottom end is in.

the auto tranny i got looks brand new though. as does the head.
