WTB: ST205 Engine w/ Turbo, no tranny - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #96944 2 posts Started by Jeebus
Well I've finally come back.

Just looking for an engine with turbo, no tranny (as I had just replaced it in Jan 2015. I'm trying to avoid an eBay seller unless someone highly recommends them. I've found a mechanic who'll do an engine swap for me for a good price (an MR2 owner), so I just need to find an engine from a reputable source.

Background - turbo was leaking in Jan 2015, engine blew during a mountain drive in April 2015 causing cylinder 4 to seize.
I have one I just picked up from San Leandro, CA 6 weeks ago. I'm actually in the middle of installing the transmission in my ST185. I had planned on keeping the engine to eventually drop it in the 6gc, but I would be willing to let it go for $1200+shipping. It's a WRC motor btw (only 2500 produced), and includes the ecu and wiring harness. However, I wouldn't have the slightest clue on shipping arrangements for it. I am located in ID (US).

Guys on car forums are always quoting the Fast and Furious movies. Meanwhile, I'm over here like: "If you ain't first, you're last!"
