Hey All,

Im courious, im looking for a good running motor, nothing special, fairly low miles... for a friends car.... hers has 218 and some change as far as miles go and it wasnt very well taken care of before she got it. what am i looking at as far as price goes, and where should i look? Im in the houston area....

Thanks,

Matt

best place to look is either Ebay or local junkyards. Sometimes the local yards are more expensive than Ebay but sometimes they give you a warranty with the purchase, just depends. Another place to look around is 240SXforums.com, or even look around at some performance shops that do the SR20DET engine swap, as they sometimes have the old KA24DE engine that was taken out just laying around to go to the junkyard. It's up to you.

You can find good running KA's on Zilvia.net or Nicoclub.com for 500 and less...

dont forget www.craigslist.org

Truth!!! That's a great site, as well as ebay when it comes to used KAs. I'm blocked from both sites though

Thanks,
