That's two posts that were on the first page of the for sale section. The second post is a short block for $200. I would PM one of those guys since you don't have enough posts yet to post in the FS section.

Yeah, def check out the for sale section.

Autotrader is good for finding those horribly mutilated cars with the 420a and tranny untouched. Some are as low as $500. You get most of a car and a motor for that much!

You can probably snag a 2.0 short block from a sebring, avenger, or neon pretty cheap if you ask for that.

It's funny how the mitsu eclipse name adds like 20% value at junk yards.

Also check out http://www.car-part.com/.

so true, even at dodge/chrysler dealers saying a sebring or avenger instead of eclipse or talon can make a difference, same part, diff packaging diff price
