They had EJ207 Short motors on ebay for 2000+200 for delivery. I was in the same boat as you and i managed to pick up a V6 Jap Spec STI Engine with 90,000 kms on it for $2,000. That was an absolute bargain, these engines go for $4000 everywhere else. My friend got his rebuilt with forged internals and he spent $7000. Gives you an idea of what these things cost. I saved money on my engine so i'm kitting it out before i install it. Intake, up pipe, Y pipe ect.. Good Luck!!!
