URGENT - need a running b14 engine to replace mine

[valman]

hi guys, my search for a replacement engine hasnt gone well - so ive put this thread here to raise more awareness, does anyone know anyone or anywhere thats selling a b14? exhaust manifolds etc arent essential, or any ancillaries but i need an engine that i can drop in, bolt the bits up to and get it to run. if anyone sees one please get in touch asap as i need my car for work etc and have no other means of getting to work/obtaining currency

cheers for that, unfortunately they like to charge an arm and a leg for parts on these cars! they wanted £280 i think for a diff n gearbox off a car thats done 140+k!

Looks like places maybe catching on to demand if quite a few people are asking them for 300 parts and sticking the prices up.

yeah cant blame them to charge that for an item as they must be finding it tough in this economic climate, plus wherelse can you get almost anything on demand? but its just out of my price range!

p.s. still needing engine!
