Eastern 7mge swappers check this out...
I could crap. This never happens anywhere near me so I could even dream about doing the swap:

Not mine, and don't know the seller, but heck, you could get all the parts you need and sell a few odds and ends off the car and probably come out ahead on the deal. So what if the motor needs to be rebuilt when you can start out with a "free" one!

It's worth checking. By no way does "parts car" mean it doesn't have a motor or is unfixable. Cruise the ebay auctions for parts cars and see what shows up. There is a supra on there now with a bad headgasket after getting a new head that is listed as a parts car for $1500. There have been a number of Supras on there in the last few months and half or more do have the motor.
For that price, I'd say it would be worth asking the seller rather than making assumptions.

Emailing the seller IS easy it's just that too many people would rather go into it blind then b!tch when things don't go their way.
It could well be this one doesn't have a motor, but I thought maybe somebody would be interested enough to put out a little effort. I'd be all over it if it was somewhere nearby me. The other one on ebay with a bad gasket, has a new head and less than 60k on the car so the bottom end is probably in fine shape. But, it's up in New York dammit...
Of course, the worst thing that could happen would be for one to show up around here for cheap, then I'd have to actually do something or shut up about it
