Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. First, can you, in fact, get a good replacement engine for $5k? Would that be a used engine, or a freshly rebuilt one? And if used, how do you know how sound the engine is?

Also, what about shipping and installation costs? What should one expect to pay for that?
