Best bet for an engine is to buy a complete car from auction. You'll pretty much make every dollar back if you buy the right car

i was thinking that, atleast that was i have the whole ECU gearbox etc etc etc and i may even install the interior if its a leather vx ss interior Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mine is up around 10 .
