    I bought a parts truck for $500. For that I got four good tires (already mounted), a bench seat, a mirror/dome light assembly, the rear-of-cab sound deadening panel, sliding rear window, radiator, alternator, steering pump, heat and AC cores, complete wiring harness, spare headlights, a decent home-built wood bed, a W55, AND a 22R.

    Why would you pay $300 for just an engine?

    300 is not a bad deal at all for that even if it needs rebuilt. toyota parts are getting harder and harder to find so I would scoop that one up while you can. looks like it comes with some extra parts you can sell. also where are you located ? if your not too far I will buy your blown engine. and scomber, you got lucky, those deals arent every where. and if they are let me know, ill come grab them all.
