WTB: (NorCal) EJ251 Engine (2000-2001 2.5rs)

Since my last engine decided to die (spun bearing) I have decided the best course of action is to find a replacement to swap in.

I am looking for a complete engine (EJ251) from a 2000-2001 2.5rs, one that was in good running order prior to removal; and hopefully one without excessive millage.

Maybe someone just swapped and has their old engine. Maybe there is a vendor on these boards who is up to their eyes in engines. I just want to get the most reliable replacement I can!

Pick Ur Part in San Jo has an RS coupe that they are 'featuring' this weekend, looked like the motor is still intact.

Oh and there's a guy in Turlock with an STi longblock (no turbo, no tranny) for $1200.

My friend has a brand new 2.5 ej255 longblock for sale, a perfect starter upgrade if you decide to turbo your car - you can get the remaining parts from a USDM STi and make your car CA Smog legal.

Guess I should assume I'm not the only one who will be there then.... Yea I saw this, I was gonna score the ECU at least, maybe the hubs; I'd like the engine but dont know if I'd be able to get it out with what I've got.

So I guess I could pick, but not pull!
