Well I got the guy with the Cobra motor down to $1800 with 120k on it and it's a pretty good looking motor. The other GT motors have 97k or more, the engines with less seem to have a lot of oxidation and rust. Not that I care cause most of the parts I won't use but I've always kept my engine clean and it has never done that. So far the Cobra engine would cost $2000 shipped and the GT motors around $1100 shipped. Ideas? I got that guy to come nicely off the price.

Yeah same guy has a GT motor with 90K on it for $800 I offered him $500 so he'll probably meet me in the middle. I think I'm gonna get that one, he's the only one to have really been talking with me and his shipping is the cheapest. So only things I need to get now is a new radiator, power steering pump, head gaskets, intake gaskets, and stud mount head bolts.

I agree after thinking about it, I think I'm just gonna stick with GT motors and scrap all the aluminum parts I take off and add it to the large collection I already have. I'll make a nice chunk of change just off the scrap aluminum and iron I have.

OK guys, I found a complete motor $650, radiator $40, power steering $40, and 24lb fuel injectors $75. I will have all purchased by tomorrow morning, still waiting to hear back for the Cobra ecu $325 trying to negotiate down a bit. Total investment for all above after shipping will be approx $1350.

If anybody needs it I'll have the following available in the coming days, if not then I'll scrap it all:
E7 Heads 87K miles $40 + shipping cost
H.O Upper/Lower Intake $25 + shipping cost (I have 2 sets) 1 set ready now
95 60mm Throttle Body $15 + shipping (I'll have 2) 1 ready now
19lb Fuel Injectors 87K miles $40 + shipping
302 engine w/rotating assembly make an offer w/150k miles + shipping (one in my car now)
