Yeah that place is definitly screwy....says it's a '96-'00 motor, then says its a Ver 5, Ver 6 type ('98-00), Make up your damn mind

...and they say its 280 HP (only the Ver5/6's were that much) and.....

....the motor in the picture has an earlier (Version 4 I believe) intercooler on it.....

So basically you really don't know what you might be buying....

I concur. It looks like a Version IV perfect for my car but I can find one alot cheaper.

Damn, I guess I owned myself. But, the people that I actually have talked to about engine/tranny/etc prices said that the whole thing like that would find it's way to me for about 3g's. Guess Im just talkin to the wrong people

$3k can get you a used v7 motor if you're willing to hunt long enough. Or, it could get you the v7 six-speed, used of course. Personally, go with the six-speed and build a motor. Much cheaper and you avoid the five speed tranny blues.
