i got an email today from a wreckers/importers as i emailed them for a qoute on an engine
and they told me that they have one 100kw engine in stock atm for 1200$ they havnt written anything like condition etc
but for that price is it worth it
its for engine only

You'll find importers charge higher prices than local wreckers.
In the past, I've been quoted $750 for a blue top which was just the motor itself however managed to pick up a complete bluetop with ECU, sensors etc elsewhere for $450 from another wrecker.
If you're after a 100kw 4AG, you'd be better off trying the local wrecking yards however finding one may be hard - it'd be easier to call a wrecking hotline if there is one in your state.
It pays to shop around ...
Good luck!
P.S. It'd be a different story if you were after a 4AGZE or 20 valve - local wrecking yards just won't have them.

1200 bucks for a 100kw 4age?
Thats about the price a wrecker mob on Sandgate rd, Virgina
Freshly pulled from the car, unchecked! But that was around midway though last year. I thought it was abit of a joke considering that the car mags had wreckers advertising the same motor for round 750.
