Guessing thats supposed to be $6700. If so that seems pretty resonable to drop engine of and pick up a rebuilt one.

I am rebuiling two long motors (silver top out of GQ's) atm. All machining is being done by Queensland Engineering Service and assembled by Whites Diesels. If yor not in too much of a hurry, I will sell one and take one myself. PM me if your interested.

John is great, knows his shit and does it well. We use warby for all our machine work. He did all the machine work for the 2 SD33T's i built a while ago, and has just done the machine work on my mazda truck engine. He could get me engine kits cheaper than i could from engines australia.
