I just spoke with the parts guy at my dealer to confirm, they are doing $1850.00 for me and he told me list is $2,001.00 + $1,000.00 core. But that was last week, the core I am using is just missing one part. Now you guys are scaring me, I better call him in the AM.

So... I called him up today, and he said he has 3 remans coming in, so I think I'm still good.
But a few couple interesting points, when I asked him about header, he actually recommends me to keep the stock one, sth to do with losing a heatshield is a big no no.
And on a sidenote for those searching in the future, Cam @ Pettit actually does Cobb AP maps.

MNAO now only sell their local remans with a $1000 core return.
As far as pricing goes, Montgomery's do load their prices by 5% when compared to some other on-line US Mazda Parts Dealers, but they say their shipping is cheaper?..
this 5% extra started about 12 months ago.
Remember there is also a new guy handling all their on-line orders (Preston), Jason Baggie now works at a Subaru Dealer as a Parts Manager.

don't worry about the core, as long as the base short block is there then they shouldn't give you any runaround.
what did you sign with your core charge? i don't sign anything. i could drop an old FC core engine into the box and what could they really say? yes, you could get the runaround getting your money back but there was no specifics i saw with the core charge, written or implied.
i have even taken 2 core engines, robbed the good parts and sent back the junk assembled into one engine and there was no problem. should i feel guilty about it? nope, the core charge is mainly in hopes that someone doesn't return an engine and they get to keep the $1000. these engines have been a problem since day one and they're not losing much if anything by not getting any usable parts back, in most cases they shouldn't be using any of it anyways.
