in the past, i have picked up vitara power steer setup complete second hand for $200...
$1100 is probably middle ground for a vitara carby motor. It all depends on who is selling and who's buying etc... i think some people install them with sierra carb's for better torque - but i don't know if that is actually the outcome.
just incase you weren't aware - both will need some fab type work to install, or some other bolt on parts.
sticking to carb is definately a simpler option than going efi.

save the $450 they arent that hard to steer ya pussy.
motor seems avg price but u still gota spend more getting the other bits and your time. i think suzisport sell em for approx $1500 with warrenty.
offer him $900 as its missing bits or $1100 with the bits on.
