SR Motorsports wants 4500 for theirs, and i found a complete Cosmo motor w/trans for 4500. I have no use for the trans since its an auto. I think that those prices are a little high 
Anyone know of any specific companies that import 20b's? Ive done many searches on Google and havent really come up w/ anything, Thanks

Mine was around $800 delivered. That's pretty much a decent price for a core. It was missing a few things and had a couple broken sensors and a cut wiring harness. Even the oil lines were chopped and the rear hardline was crushed a bit. It had low compression; that's why it was cheap.

On Friday I missed out (by 10 mins)on a Cosmo front clip complete for $3600 AUD ($2200 US) B letter motor with 45000 kms up. Crating and LCL sea shipping might add $1K AUD
Still not cheap but cheaper
I'm gonna get a 'spare' theys gonna be hard to find in the future

Actually the convo was the other way around:
Walk in....'G'day fellas'
'Gday Rob, it's already sold mate'
'Whats sold?'
*cue 20B idling on open pipe*
'That sounds like a 20B'
'It's already sold Rob'
'Thanks for the call boys'
'Sorry Rob'
'Gimme one of your beers.....no, not that ***** the expensive stuff you keep in the back.....
