So i took my car to another mechanic( idk if u read my other thread or not but the auto place it was at wasn't doing ****) and im probably going to need a new engine if thats the case i was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to grab another engine possibly a 3.4 hybrid? I was talking to rubberducky awhile back about buying his hybrid but he hasn't been on for the past few weeks does anyone have any other contact info for him like a phone number or email? And if u dont feel comfortable giving that to me if u could message or call him yourself and let him know that i am in need of his hybrid id greatly appreciate that thanks in advance

 

With what you were saying in the other thread about your financial situation, I would not recommend a hybrid at this time. It will take a lot more money and time than you probably believe it will.

I would, from the information you have shared, just swap in another stock 2.8 for your car. Save up and build another engine, as a hybrid if desired while driving the car and then swap in when you have more time and money to complete the swap. I did this exact thing with my '85 Jimmy, built an engine while driving the truck and then spent a week swapping it in. I had probably about 55 to 60 hours into the swap itself, granted I did build some headers and turbocharged it at the same time, but even using pre-made headers and not turbocharging the truck I would have likely had about 50 hours into the swap still.

 

So for now im getting a new radiator and water pump my compression is good but my seals are about to go so im just fixing what needs to be fixed to be driveable for now then il save up for a new engine to put in the water pump and radiator including the parts costs and him looking into my engine its only gonna be $280
