G'day, I've read a few threads where people have put a new engine in their TE's. I would like to know the cost to have an engine installation. I don't own a Magna but I am looking at buying one (the shape is eye catching :P ) Both the 4 and 6 cylinders would be great to know the cost. Thanks to all those who reply :D

I dont see it being ne more than $5000

a few years ago 3L into a verada just over $3000 for new motor in car drive away.

Goddam.....Thats like.....stupidly cheap?

Your telling me when my engine finally packs it in, as long as the body and other components are still fine, for $3-$5k I can get a new (second hand) motor? ...sweet.

err, isn't a 2nd hand (or even recon'd) 3L motor for $5k is....stupidly expensive?

Possibly, im not up with prices, but it was Drive away. Hell id pay $3k for a motor drive away, especially if it was going to give me a few extra years on the car.

i know its not an engine but I had a tranny replaced under warranty on the TE few years ago i asked how much it would cost it was 1800 fitted. thats a brand spankin new 4 speed tranny from the factory from dandenong mitsu! its a good idea to check new prices.

if you bought a brand new engine in the car, would u have to wind back the odom or what??

yeah u should be able to pick up an engine for 1k, i'd probably leave the same amount for labour aswell


later:cool:

and by new motor i mean brand new, i guess becuase its was the only thing changed it wasn't to much.

Recently sold one for $275.00.

Can't give away the 3.0 as they are a dime a dozen, I know where several more are just stitting around collecting dust.

Fititng, I would do for around $250.00 plus parts

*cough*

mal might have a little project eninge swap for u soon if u interested lol ... just of the toyota variety hah

You gotta be kidding me? $250 for a 3l? Crap, might just buy a few spares. Is it possible to strap a 3.5 straight into a 3L factory Magna? Obviously there would be tuning to the ECU.
