Sorry I know this question and the "how much $" has been asked many times.
Ive gone through alot of searches, my engine just died, i have no car, i get a ride back & forth to work now plus pick up my daughter three days in the middle of the week. Im trying to learn as much as I possibly can as well as find out how Im going to pay for a new engine vs. upgrading to 3.0L
Im weighing my options as well as looking for someone to pull out my engine and install all at once and as soon as possible.
Thanks for letting me vent. smile
