EJ20t for $500?
got offered one today. missing the loom, ECU, turbo and peripherals.
My mate wants $400 bucks (mates rates) for it.
Is it worth that?

If it is in good nick that is fair price. I can get one as a bare long motor from the importers in brissy for $595 so you are getting it a bit
cheaper. Does it still have the inlet mainfold or is the motor totally bare?

still has the inlet manifold and assorted fuel stuff and electrical connectors, plus the exhaust manifold.
The inlet manifold has a fair coating of oil film just behind the throttle body, don't know what that means
What do you reckon?
Haven't asked the wife yet, and we're pretty strapped at the mo, but if it's a good price then I will push for it.

Is it in a workshop, and was going to be put in a bug?
I got offered it a few weeks ago and asked about year model and engine #,if it was not too old I said I would take it and never heard back!

All the expensive stuff is missing. If you are someone who is new to subaru engines and conversions I would buy a complete engine first time
around.
I don't rate it as a good buy.

that said, if you're building up a competition engine, you'd get rid of all those expensive bits anyway and this would be the starting place. So in
a way in that circumstance it might save you money.

no offense dude... but you asked the question and now your answering it yourself.....
If you're building a competition engine you are not new to subaru engines so you would know if it was a good buy or not with out asking the
question.
If you actually read my post I said " If you are someone who is new to subaru engines and conversions I would buy a complete engine first time
around."
If you think it's a good buy then buy it. I don't so I won't.
