keep us posted on your progess and decision.

while I am NOT yet in your boat, my 2000, and anyone else here, could be at ANY time. It would be nice to know pretty much whatk ind of hard costs one is going to be looking at to do the various options.

my thoughts are that if you are going to keep the car and fix it - it makes no sense to put in the stockmotor - IF you can upgrade to the 3.2 or 3.4 for only a marginal extra amount. given the high costs of even a stock replacement, it makes sense to do the upgrade.

the question is which way to go. check with Raby and see what his engine choices/costs are like.

i would think that if you could find a low mileage used engine - that might seriously cut down on costs - and that will simply depend on what is out there on the market right now.

then you have to assess the labor costs to install the various swaps.

keep us posted on what you find out. good luck
