Default 951 engine still for sale....lowered the price....a lot!!

I still have the 951 engine from the one that I just parted out. I put it on e-bay, but at the time, wasn't in a big hurry to sell it, so I put a high reserve. Now...I need the room. I will be re-listing it in a week or so, but wanted to offer it here again with the lower price first.
About the engine. It is out of a 86 951 with only 75k miles on it. The car was a garage queen. The total car was like new.Just before the car was wrecked, it had a total front-end rebuild on the engine. New pump, rollers, seals and belts. It also had a compression check done and was perfect on all 4 cyl. I can provide the name and phone of the guy that I got the car from and the tech who has serviced the car the last few years. From what the tech told me, this engine is as close to new as you can get without buying a new engine or having a complete rebuild. It is complete. The only thing you will have to add will be the alternator,a/c,powersteering and air meter. The rest is there. I will also add the intercooler and the new plumbing if someone needs those also. It does come with the harness. I don't have the dme and klr though. It also has a new factory clutch with less than 1k miles on it. The front-end job only has about 200 miles on it.
I have the lowered the price to 2000.00 and will only charge 150.00 for shipping. If you don't want the clutch, I will take 1800 and 100.00 for the shipping.

I'm pulling my engine this weekend, Given the compression numbers, and how the engine ran, I may be looking for a replacement. I'll keep yours in mind.

I was at first asking 2800.00 with me paying all of the shipping. I listed it twice on e-bay, and never got very close. I think the price I have it now will be very hard to beat. The compression numbers were if I remeber correctly at 150 on all 4 give a pound or 2 on each. The tech told me they were good enough that a leak down test would have been a waste of time and money.

Todd,
That seems like a good price.
FYI I sold the engine out of the 86' 951 to a local guy for $2000, that included longblock, clutch, headers, x-over, and WG , but no DME/KLR. Your motor has lower miles and better compression than mine did.
Good luck on the sale.
Someone ****** this up

Also, if someone has a 86 951, I have a set of front rotors with less than 500 miles on them.
