Low mileage 3VZFE engine from a 1993 ES300, ready to install

Sweet92turbo · 11-15-2009, 03:45 PM

3VZFE Engine with 80,00 miles taken from a wrecked 1993 ES300. I have the title to prove mileage. I pulled all of the parts that would be needed to install this engine into a MK1. This includes the entire wiring harness and part of the body harness, the ECU, and almost everything that was in the engine bay. When there was any doubt whether the parts were needed or not I went ahead and kept them. Also included is a low mileage transmission from a 1992 NA MR2 and the axles as well as a manual 3VZFE flywheel to mate the two together.

This engine has been cleaned and painted and every piece has been inspected. The following have been replaced:
New head gasket
All gaskets have been replaced
An oil pan baffle was installed that was purchased from a TwoBrutal.com board member
New Timing belt
New Timing belt tensioner
New cap and rotor
New NGK plug wires
New main bearings
New rod bearings
New flywheel bolts
ARP Head Studs
New thermostat
New valves, springs, retainers, seals, etc.
3 angle valve job
Polished heads, I made no attempt to port the heads at all I just wanted to smooth them out and remove casting marks
Used ACT HD pressure plate
Used ACT 6 pad sprung clutch disc
New ACT throwout bearing
New ACT clutch alignment tool
Stock drivers side engine mount
Fabricated passenger side engine mount

I made an effort to replace everything that could possibly be replaced, there is a good chance that I’m forgetting to list something here. My goal was to create a reliable sports car so I wanted to make sure that everything was done on this engine so that it would last for a long time. The only think that is needed for this engine to be complete is spark plugs. This is the total package that you would need to put a reliable V6 into an MK1 or MK2. Engine is located in Mason, OH about 20 miles north of Cincinnati, OH.

$800 obo

Price for motor without harness, ECU, tranny/axles, clutch, engine mounts and flywheel? Is it fully assembled? Willing to ship?

Sweet92turbo · 11-17-2009, 09:34 AM

The engine is assembled and I am willing to ship it. Here is a picture of how the engine sits right now.

I am not willing to seperate at the moment, in a few weeks if I don't have any offers I may reconsider.

Lime-Light · 11-17-2009, 11:04 AM

looks nice...I'll keep tabs on it.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

even with the way i did it by buying a JY engine and replaced the pistons and bearings and rings. but if i dont include doing that i dont understand how you can afford to sell that so cheap!

Junk Yard V6 Motor $212.00
Domestic Gaskets Rebuild kit $284.32
Head Bolts $29.28
Head Porting cost $200.00
NGK Spark Plug Wires $63.95
South Bend Clutch Kit $195.00
Oil pickup, cap, rotor, 2x Recessed headbolts, 8x flywheel bolts, 6x pressure plate bolts, thermostat, Timing cover $125.27
3vz-fe Ecu, AFM, 3vz Wire Harness, Ignitor $131.00
4v6 Motor Mount $144.00
S54 Transmission w/ Axles $130.00

$1514.82!!! (not including shipping) and most of those are JY prices or board member prices!

I just wanted to post that to let people know this is a deal. Not to mention that with the JY motor i still had another $770.79 in rebuilding costs.

Sweet92turbo · 11-22-2009, 11:12 AM

Thanks for the input! I am definitely losing money on this deal, not to mention the hours I put in polishing the heads and cleaning and painting the engine. If the engine doesn't sell in the next few months I might just buy a MK2 rolling shell and put the engine in.

I really hate to see this thing go but my mom is getting kind of mad that it's taking up room in the garage

honda_bar · 11-22-2009, 11:17 AM

i would probably pick it up if you were in cali

Sweet92turbo · 01-23-2010, 06:51 PM

Still available if anyone is interested

RPJMR2 · 01-26-2010, 12:19 PM

Any idea what shipping to Cali would cost?

STLMR2na · 01-26-2010, 01:28 PM

hmmm I live in Missouri and i like it, but it's not one of my options right now

Sweet92turbo · 01-31-2010, 07:53 PM

I am willing to crate the engine up and ship it but you would have to coordinate everything and throw me a little bit of money for my effort. I'm not sure what the best way to ship an engine is but I assume it would be expensive.

Lime-Light · 02-19-2010, 12:13 AM

PMed you...

Dr. N0 · 04-22-2010, 03:29 AM

I am interested in your USDM 3VZ-FE V6 engine.
I was thinking about putting a JDM 3VZ-FE engine in a 1991 MR2 NA.

Where would I get the custom passenger side engine mount needed for this install?

How much would it cost to ship the engine to my mechanic's shop located in Sacramento, CA.

blk mr2 · 05-06-2010, 06:55 AM

still available?

The ghoul · 05-11-2010, 10:19 AM

If Buyer flakes out call me at 551 998 1570

Chris411 · 06-22-2010, 02:05 PM

Man why did I not buy my MK2 MR2 sooner I would have been all over this especially since your only 1.5 hours away LMK if anything changes and it comes up again.
