Hi
My old girl has 530K km and whilst it may last many years yet I can buy a 1998 complete engine with 230k km and was considering buying it and keeping tucked up in my shed for a rainy day. Currently asking $2k for it and whilst now out of the car it can be compression tested. In Western Australia everyone apparently a mining millionaire so we pay through the nose for everything with estimates for a rebuild being $13-20K depending on spec etc. Can items such as the fly by wire throttle etc be simply swapped over or is it more complicated? Australians mainly buy diesel Cruisers and there aren't a lot of 2UZFE to be found and the few I have seen at wreckers are $6-8K
