Come and get it. I need this thing out of my garage as I am swapping in my SR20 soon. Some background - I bought a 96 240 SE from a buddy of mine for uber-cheap. It hadn't started in 2 years. I recharged the battery and lo and behold it started. The clutch was blown so I matched revs as I drove it around for about a day. Not gonna lie, I drove the piss out of it, but I am good at matching revs and there was no grinding. So I believe the tranny is fine. It was stout as hell when I drove it. I only put about 50 miles on it in my ownership. The car's odo reads 110k, but then again, it's broken. The car has not been driven (until I bought it) since 2003 or possibly earlier. Anyway, at around 50 miles or so of my driving, the car felt alot slower and made some funny noises. I turned off the motor to come to a stop (I would turn it off in neutral before I would stop, so as not to kill it, then switch it on in first to start it) and it wouldn't start again. With a few more tries, it started, made a noise that sounded like rod knock, and idled roughly for a bit, and died. So I probably bent a rod. When I drained the oil it looked like hell. Couldn't find metal shavings though.
To summarize-- Everything is fine except for what I BELIEVE is a bent rod. I can supply virtually everything that was hanging on the motor when I pulled it, that does not hook back up to the sr20. It's all there except for the exhaust manifold, which I cut with a hacksaw. You will want a new clutch unless you like matching revs--it was actually sort of fun. Tranny seems fine.
You will need to bring a hoist or Arnold Schwarzenegger to get the motor from my garage floor to your vehicle of choice. Either are acceptable, Terminator preferred. You will need to bring $100 in CASH ONLY, split in denominations of $5 or larger. I could also use some beer. I like Coors Light. Depending on your alcohol contribution, I may throw in some more junk I need to get rid of, such as the stock bumpers and hood. If you really want to steal my heart, bring Corona. You'll also need a truck.
If your truck is large, loud, and offensive, ie: equipped with the South Will Rise Again package, complete with flags, guns, and a dog with mange, I would really like that too. My neighbors write me anonymous threatening letters because of the car parts on my property, and I'd like to tell them my family is visiting.
Now I'm just rambling. But as you can tell, I don't really care. So don't try to haggle for $5 off. This thing can sit until one of my neighbors steals it. Sold or stolen, whichever happens first.
