i want 2 no how much 4 a new engine cause the 1 it has right now is going 2 cost me 2grand 2 fix its a 4cyclinder it has oil leaks from the oil pan,timing chain and the head is cracked and alot more so would it b cheaper 4 a new engine
you can get a good reman longblock for around 800 with exchange (core) around here anyways..... 2 grand is a hell of allot...... unless you took it to a repair shop that is charging you 1000 for labor.
i got my 22re for my '94 for about $750...I suggest you shop around & do some research. 2k sure is a LOT of money!
yup...... of course, depending on where yer at and available help it may reflect cost. if you are capable of doing it yourself, maybe have a buddy or two come over, and have a engine hoist, have at it! me personally, i can drop a motor in and out and have it running by 1 to 1 1/2 days. (given food drink and bs parts run breaks)
im from arkansas so im prtty sure i mite can get 1 4 a good price i herd i could get a crate engine 4 like 800 how much would it cost to get some 1 install it cuse i dnt no **** about engines lol
man I dunno how drunk you are when you swap motors but it takes me less then an hour to take out my engine and about an hour as well to get it back running in the truck.. lol.. I only have 1 vacumm line,2 fuel,radiator, driveshaft,ignition,and 1 ground lol.... but yeah stock, or close to stock take forever to pull...It also helps that my entire intake and exaust will come out with the motor....
A remanufactured long block runs $1500-1800, so $2000 installed is a real good price. A remanned short block, costs about half that, but with a cracked head and the other problems you listed, you need a long block.
Dude i know how you feel. Timing chain is going on my truck and the mechanic guy i always go to wants $1200 to do the chain. Crazy. Need to explore some options now. Think ill make my own thread.
(copied from oahus thread) For 1200 I could have a whole new longblock shipped to me. timing kits usually run around $100 for most engines. Grab a chiltons/haynes/etc work over the course of a saturday. For 1200 I could do a 5.3 v-8 from a GM swap completed or at least VERY close.
DUDE ! The chain is VERY simple on the 22r...i mean VERY...i did mine for the first time and took me an hour to complete...i figured it would be hard, but its really not if you mark everything and have a good timing light... i installed new guides and chain... for next to nothing.. and its about 18 bolts to remove... save your money and look up how to change it...simple hand tools and you can do it...
