Used engines on ebay are fairly cheap, but I can't picture putting in an unknown quantity.

One example of a rebuilt engine $8,000 plus $4,000 core charge. If the core is bad, no or limited core refund.

This guy might be better off parting the car out.

Just my opinion.........which, when coupled with five bucks, might just buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks............I don't think you're ready or prepared for this.

Just sayin'................

I've got a quality rebuilt 2.7 with lots of internal upgrades forsale -- not cheap at $9k but no core.
