I don't remember off hand what he quoted me for the engine price, but i know the installation price was too much. I'm from Edina, MN. I will check out that site you guys gave me. I think i will also check around for some salvage yards. Not many that i know of in the twin cities area, but there are a few on the outside of town. I have a 2nd car that i'm driving for now, but i want to cry everytime i see my contour parked in the lot!!!
