Well I have the chance to get another spare 3VZE v6 engine for $200 it runs as far as I know. It has a boggered up spark plug hole that could be taken care of with a threaded insert that's why they say it is a bad motor... Anyways I sort of know who owned the vehicle last and toyota did all the repairs to that engine it had the headgasket recall done last year to it think I should buy it? I was thinking it would be good to have incase I come accross another toyota project that needs a engine.

I would definetly pick it up.If for nothing else you could use it for the parts

yah get it. nothing wrong with spare parts. a guy down here has a spare vg30 that was rebuilt by nissan, says he has the bill for over 4500$ total for the rebuild. well it's sitting on a engine stand and he'll gimme it for 200. sad part is i cant spare 200 right now. thats just pathetic.
