Here is what caught my attention in their ad.


Toyota 3RZ-FE 2.7L Brand New Engine
$1,550.00

"TOYOTA 3RZ-FE BRAND NEW ENGINE 4 Cyl. 2.7L APPLICATIONS: (95-04) Tacoma (94-98) T100 (96-00) 4Runner This is a BRAND NEW long block Toyota 3RZ-FE 2.7L engine. Not rebuilt, but brand new. Engine comes as pictured. No core required."


Just wondering if indeed it is brand new, if it is manufactured by Toy or by someone else. I would imagine this same engine would be $5000 + at a dealership with their normal 4-500% parts markup.

Probably too good to be true. I'd like to see what they have to say though.

There's nothing wrong with my current engines but I'm in the market for a newer (99-02) 2.7 powered pickup and being the cheap b*****d I am, will probably buy one with a million miles on it
