I found an engine off a wrecked 04 it has 72k on it and they want 900 for it. Seems fair to me

a little update, pulled the radiator, drained the fluids including the oil from the engine, and pulled out my intake and disconnected everything that attaches to those.

Hope it all goes well. When the time comes (that my engine quits) I plan on putting a new(er) engine in. Can't let an Envy (monotone to boot!) sit in some junkyard!
