I paid $1,800 for my 90K mile engine and $2K have to it installed. Original IMS. I have been racing it for year. Still runs perfect.
When this one blows, I'll buy another and swap it in. Just like brake pads.

is the market for 2.5's that much cheaper than 2.7's and 3.2's? I would have thought with the spec racing eating up supply prices would be stronger than $1800 for a sub 100K mile engine. Sort of how Miata hard tops used to be cheap but then the racing demand made them expensive. Most 2.7 and 3.2 m96 Boxster engines with at least moderate mileage seem to be starting in the $5K range. The m97's which aren't dramatically different according to our engine experts are into the $7k and higher range.
