well, enough knowing that it wasn't cheap but worth the money for me to spend for a rebuilt 2.5L S14 engine. sorry no specifics:)

i located another stock 2.3L with about 80K for around $5K at the same time i saw this engine. I've also seen them as low as $1100 and lower but they're high miles...way too much risk for me imo

oh and yesterday i had another drive while i was in the passenger seat, i could hardly move my head from the headrest as he was shifting..crazy i didn't think it accelerated THAT quickly although i know it's fast. looking to change my diff:), the one we bolted the driveshaft to is the original 4.10. it reads 4.10 on the label but i don't see an S, but does a great job though for now!
