Message	I received a call from our local salvage auto auction, I know the manager real well, they have a 1996 240 sx, that is all balled up, they aare selling this for state farm ins. the owner who is a younger kid, says the vehicle is worth $70,000, the insurance company obviously thinks its just a 240, this kid has a rb26dett engine in it, along with a host of other goodies, my question is, this guy called me and asked me what the value of this engine is itself, anybody be able to help out, that would be great, by the way, I am going to have one of my buddies hopefully purchase this for me, as my son wants a 240 as his first car, my thoughts are to by it, and pull the engine aut and buy another 240 and install in there TIA
