hi mate

between 1000 and 1700 for the engine, box loom, etc.
depends on the year model
depends on the accessories that came with it

you can buy a complete car for about 2.5 grand

Yep about $800 - $1000 for a bare motor, no ECU etc etc.
Going all the way to about $2500 - $3000 for a half cut or sometimes a complete car if your lucky. Normally complete cars with 1UZ's go for about 5g up.

there are plenty of them around...probably worth the extra buying a cut....so many extra parts that can blow out costs...sump position and ecu needs to be thought about b4 purchase...crowns had seperate ecu to tranny, others have combined and you then need to use both or go aftermarket.
Latest version of 1uz has vvti...think it is a 3uz...only ever seen one b4 but it would be worth getting if you could... also think the new cruiser v8 uses this vvti

Just checked a few of the Toyota & Jap importers around Melb most of them are saying around $2000.00 to $2500.00 for a half cut....

Anyone know of places in Melb that would do better ???

Cheers Jords!!!

honda spares do them at around 1200 for motor not halfcut. but if you go aftermarket managment then you'll only need the ignighters(sp.) and a cut loom. and if you dont get a loom i got one from a soarer
try to get a rear sump motor cause the rear sumps are pretty dear to buy(sold one for $500)

kranked i have a P/S pump. havnt tryed it but it came out of a half cut and they left it on my motor so it's spare atm.
