Re: Need Engine

Your best bet might be to go to a DIY wrecking yard and pull an engine to rebuild. You select the engine yu want to pull and I think the yard crew will pull it for you. I think their prices for engines are probably as low as you will find unless someone has an engine laying around that they just want to get rid of.

Re: Need Engine

If you talk to the right person at a junk yard and bring proof what the engine is for they might donate it.

Re: Need Engine

You'll return it after you're done rebuilding it, right?
