$2000 for a used run down H22 or $2000 for an H22 ready to make a 10 second pass?
I can't believe people still buy these for full price. Blows me away.
Shit like this pops up all the time around here;

I could buy this and an engine block on ebay for less than $500 delivered to my door and still have money for OEM seals/gaskets to get the motor together and STILL keep my budget under a grand.
I don't for the life of me understand why anyone would still buy an engine for 1k or more that NEEDS to be overhauled. At a minimum, for years people have thought that a swap from HMO still needed all new gaskets/refreshing.
So, seriously. Why not just piece together something and go from there?
If putting something together was not an option, I would go f20b + turbo for H22 money.
