I know Im probably gonna get flamed cause this is most likely posted somewhere already, I just cant find it.
Im looking to either rebuild or buy a new crate engine for a 97 Contour. Right now I have a 2.5V6, and dont really want the 3.0 thats on the mods page, granted its a pretty good price of 2k (give or take) and itll probably give me a nice lil boost in power, but its just my daily driver, and I want to keep it at as stock as possible. Right now it has 101k on the engine and body, and Id like to get an engine with a lot less mileage than that, so I was hoping at least one person would be able to steer me in the right direction of finding and new or reman engine for my car. Id prefer something new.
Also, anyone know a rough estimate on how long something like that would take to do? I mean doing an engine swap like that. I know it would probably be at least a week if not a month, but I really dont know these things, and any help would be appreciated.
Im posting this in the Northeast forum, cause well, Im from the Northeast, and am hoping that I can find someone in Jersey (middlesex if possible) that can help me out with either knowing someone that can get me an engine, or knowing a good place to have a swap done at. I sure as hell cant do it.
