hey guys,

i need an engine ASAP for my 1993 landcruiser RV (4.5L petrol) due to the fact its being used as a tow car for a drift event in adelaide and it needs to be running by thursday so we can depart.

does anyone know of any places in bris who car supply them?

also what price to expect? everyone so far as quoted around $2-$3k exchange, which i thought was a little pricey considering the 250,000+kms on them.

is 250,000kms on these motors pushing it?

thanks heaps!

Have you tried Offroad Wrecking? They used to sell them cheap. They are hard to kill. Ive got one that has 300K on it and it runs like a new engine still. I know Southside 4WD would have more 80 series Cruisers in stock than anyone else. Dont know about motors for them though.
