Long time lurker here with my first post.
I just happen to come across a 1999 4bta with 127k miles on it attached to an NV4500. It came out of a van that was hit in the rear and was totalled. The guys said he would include everything that I needed to transplant it into my FJ60. Now here's the catch. He wants $1800 for everything!
So my first question to you guys is what exactly is "everything?" He mentioned the radiator, perches, and fuel lines but what else should I expect or need? Second, buying this engine already removed from the van seems a little sketchy but he seems like a great guy and willing to help. What should I look for (physically) when I pick it up?
I've only researched doing this swap for a few months so any help is greatly appreciated.
