Oh well.... he's gunna be in for some serious $$
he is paying around $2k for a complete front cut, but it has been sitting a while and i think there is no warranty
Was no way it was gonna fit with stock manifolds, even with the 3" body lift.
$2k for a front cut is a very good price. I paid $1650 for my motor with auto loom and computer. Would have been nice to have all the other little bits and pieces from the engine bay!
Mine had been sitting around for a couple of years and was fine. Was a bit noisy for the first 10 secs or so, probably should have squirted some oil in the cylinders and on the cams first!

I was building a VH45 Twin Turbo into a GU. Note the Was. Had all the bits too!
It needed so much custom fabrication the cost was going to be 15k+
Went with a worked RB25DET instead. Just over half the price! Half as cool but 70% as useful!

Then fit a Rotary....
Why would you need more revs?? A v8 is no different, you need power down low for 4 wheeling
