What else is needed?

If I was to pick this motor up, what else would be needed? Just an intercooler? It's highly likely that I won't pick this up, but somewhat likely I might try to get a loan for it...since my truck has 115k miles on it, I figure it wouldn't be a bad investment to put a newly reman. motor (...ntm an L motor with zero miles!) in it for $4k. And my truck's paid for, so I am pretty sure I could afford payments and pay it off pretty quick as well.
Description:
complete GAS engine from the throttle body, supercharger, harness, injectors, coil packs to the oil pan also includes oil filter adapter/water to oil cooler.

Better get another 1000 bucks or so.
Nice looking motor!
You need a intercooler reservoir,intercooler pump,heat exchanger,hoses to hook that up.
You need an L alternator,alternator stabilizer bracket,
,upper pulley bridge with pulleys,tensioner assembly,
crank pulley,belt,L upper radiator hose.
Throttle cable with bracket,cruise cable,air intake,90mm mass air sensor with connectors.
You'll also need a 255lph fuel pump in the tank and custom computer tuning.
I think that's everything,,,,might have missed something.

I see the origin of the pic is craigslist.
If thats a craigslist Item, is there a chance theyre using a web bases pic of a new L motor as their pic in their add? Some people do that if they dont have an actual pic of their product.
Or does it specify its a new motor.

The quote in the add seems oddly writen to me. I'm on craigslist everyday. Have bought and sold dozens of cars (its where Ive bought both my f150s and the new motor i just swapped) along with tons of electronics and other things, something seems a bit weird, with the price low like that. Just be careful mang. Just looking out

My god.
Wow.

I already map quested it. It would take 31 hours to get there, over 2k miles which is about 166.5 gallons of gas at an average of $3 a gallon would run me $1000 dollars round trip. Would have to change my oil on the way there and once on the way back.

It was rebuilt by AER in Carrolton. The guy I bought it from got it on a deal where a guy owed him money but couldn't pay him. I picked it up in a guy's hangar at Meacham airport in Ft. Worth...it was stored in a heated and cooled environment. The engine is clean enough to eat off of!
http://www.aermanufacturing.com/

The guy said he's had it for sale for awhile but I was the first person to come look at it. He said he was asking $4500, then reduced to $3800, then $3000.
