For an Ef9 or EF8 front cut? That sounds awful cheap to me. Last I looked they were closer to 2500. A ZC Si front cut was about 1800 as I recollect.
Pros, you get all the running gear you need, gearbox, driveshaft, ECU, sensors, bonnet and radiator support (very important, otherwise you look like the wanker with a show "EF8 SIR" - badges by Carmate - who had to cut a square in his Si bonnet to clear the taller B16A).
Cons - the engine mounts and crossmembers in the EF8/9 front cut will be useles, the SiRs were radically different in engine bay design from the firewall forward. Nothing will fit into an ED (Aussie GL 4G or Si 2G CRX).
You also have to make sure you get all the parts and not get ripped off... don't you chuck?
