Here in the States a used 2JZ_G engine sells for between $1000 and $2000. The Japanese Importers offer that engine, with less than 75k km, for $1350. Low mileage import 7M-GTE's are $750 and a 2JZ-GTE is $2750!

The 2JZ-GE looks like a good candidate at $1350 (1043 EUROs), but, I've heard that the engine control wiring is much more complicated. If anybody knows more I hope they will speak up. -- Matt
