I honestly thought of having you build an engine but I don't have that kind of money. To be clear, the engine is going to be about 10k, 1500 for a clutch and flywheel, and $2500 in labor.
The real problem is not many shops are willing to dive into an M96 engine.

You need the right tools, you need the know how, and because of the cost of parts and the unknowns of what you find with the original engine -- it isn't always a cheaper (short term) option.

Jakes the pinnacle, there are others out there, but very few folks have the luxury
of not having the additional expense of shipping the vehicle as well.
