2001 2.7L Engine-- $1,300 (will work in 2.5L as setup)

I installed this engine last year and have run three HPDEs since. Unfortunately I don't know how many miles are on it. I'm installing an Audi V8 so its going. I bought this motor for $2,000 last year, I took a look at the prices on eBay and priced the motor hundreds of dollars cheaper than the cheapest one that's been sold. Here's some information

-The engine dynoed at 220hp at the wheels which is phenomenal
-I haven't replaced the IMS bearing but did remove the case and inspected it. Its in perfect shape, no play or leaking oil
-I installed an S oil cooler
-It has a undersized crankshaft pulley
-Includes all the accessories (alternator, waterpump, coils, etc etc
-I installed a 2.5 intake manifold and mechanical throttle, as is it can drop into a 2.5L car without any modifications to engine or car. If you want to install it in your 2.7 car you can swap over your intake.
-During the HPDEs I had it hooked up to an accusump so no oiling concerns
