I didnt post the pix to start an argument about opinions, i just did it to compare quality of motors for prices. NOW with that being said, you could have gone with a motor from nad, and not have had to bought new seals/or paid for install. So all in all you will probably be around the same price as an engine you could have gotten from nad. And The inside of the VC, Mike, From the outside you could expect much worse, that motor has probably got a good bit of miles. It definately is not as bad as there 2jz insides (you know what im talking about).
Cliffs, im not trying to prove anyone wrong, just showing quality, and you do get what you pay for.
