Default WTB - Engine to fit 93 SC400

Guys,

I am tentatively looking for a replacement engine for my 93 SC400. From what I understand, the harness is different between the Traction Control and the non--traction control. Although my TRAC doesn't work, I still need the harness with traction.

I will need it shipped to zip 74114. If u r quoting me without shipping, can u give me a ballpark of how much shipping will be.

I will most likely be selling the car after it is put in so I am not looking for any upgrades.

Who can give me the best deal?? Gazi - I know u got something for me!!!

Thx,

Jonny

Yeah,

I have spoken to the guy about it. Shipping will be $200 which is a lot. But then again the engine is pretty heavy!! I have made him an offer so I hope it doesn't sell and he gives it to me.

Thx man,

jonny

Gazi,

I don't need a tranny but thx for asking

Well I am looking at the one on ebay for $600 shipped with 113k on it so tell him if he can make me a decent price on it then I may be interested. This one also comes with a 90 day warranty. Does ur friend has a compression test for it?

Lemme know, and thx again Gazi,

Peace,

Jonny

not really a friend, but a local guy who got into a similar mess as you.

went to a mechanic for a tuneup, paid 1500 for a spark plug change and o2 sensors.

he then has a problem with his starter, and rather than paying 400 to fix the starter, he would like my brother to install an engine with 60K on it for a total of 1300 with labor and parts.

his engine currently with 160K is running fine, so let me know how much you want to pay, but you should look into shipping it first.

Hey man,

Find me one and I will do it. There is one locally but the guy won't go less than $2500 for a 92 and it is in rough shape.

Peace,

jonny
