well thats one reason I am looking to find an engine I can drop in. My Teal is in use everyday by my mother, and we really need another car soon as my Fiance starts college full time again starting next week.
I want to find a decent engine that can be used to drive around 25 miles a day on, so I can take my current engine out, and take my time with it to get everything done that needs to be done (headgasket, rear main seal, etc)
Lucky before I got the car Timing Belt and Waterpump were replaced, so I don't need to worry about those.
