re. [urq] What a deal!

I guess I should be sorry for letting my nice MC-2 block go for $150.

  I bought an MC2 complete (all accessories, but no harness or ECU) out of a 90k mile, 91 200 front wheel drive automatic in 2000 for $600, for install into my '85 "distressed" UrQ.

  Needless to say, MC2 engines are increasing in value.

  Grab as many as you can... fast.

  I tried to bid $200 with a max of $300, but won't accept any starting bids under $5000. 
   
  Funny I had installed one similar to this in a nice '88 5ktq - I was felt fortunate to get over $3000 for the whole deal installed in car.

  I can't believe that this engine isn't getting snapped up by some savvy buyer...
