The man was asking $2000 [emoji26] Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

Do you think an engine around 100K miles is ok? According to my friend it's gonna be a bit cheaper than one under 75K miles, let me know what you think.

Gonna give it a go, ill update you guys once the swap is done Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

He isn't giving the warranty, that's why I deleted the post, it was a misunderstanding on my part, apparently depending on the price the motor would come with a warranty Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

Yes, based on your reaction it sounds like I should take him up on his offer lol. I'll probably have to give him a hand for that price, but to me it seemed well worth it. We were going to get an engine from a crashed vehicle. He ask me just to pay for food and beers lol, most of the money is...

With the motor. Its a friend Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

Do you think I need to change the transmission as well? I found a guy who will do the whole engine swap with warranty for $1000-1200, should I do it? Sent from my LG-V410 using Tapatalk

Yes this is the only cylinder I scoped. I can buy another endoscope but I fear it will get stuck again lol. Will I be able to tell if the other cylinder heads blew by removing the valve covers?

In the engine what parts among these are the most expensive?: 1) Cylinder head 2) Connecting rod 3) Pistons For example, let's say I found a good block for $300, and half of the engine parts (e.g. cylinder head, connecting rod, pistons) were ok. Would it make more sense to do the...

Yes I'm thinking of doing an engine swap. Which of the following would you recommend: 1) Swapping with a crate engine 2) Finding a good core and rebuild it 3) Scrap this car for parts.

Got it. So at this point I should pull the valve covers to see if the cylinder heads are salveageable?

Correct me if I'm wrong but does using an engine from a salvaged title make my car a salvage title?

So essentially if I find a mechanically sound block I'm ok right? I can just transfer the components from the donor engine to the new engine?

I am in the Chicagoland area. My car is a 2002 3.7L V6 Vin K. I'll check the sites you just mentioned right now.

Anybody here ever bought an engine from an auto wrecker? I'm guessing if I can find one with body damage the engine might still be good, and I could just have a shop do the swap, let me know what you guys think thanks
