i dunno about that engine itself but since its a import motor it will be hard to be aproved because of differant emission standards etc

Sounds like a nice $$ value as well.

Anyone know how much these engines go for? Could be a nice conversion if the price is ok.

If you could actually get a Front cut, id expect to pay upwards of $8K landed. not to mention the possible flight to europe to find it first

Bang goes that theory.
Not too worried though, I already have a 4age so I shouldnt complain.
