If you have a hoist and like, 15 different tools you can swap this engine out with little trouble. The dealer will most likely bring you to about $1000 all said and done IF you can get a decent engine for 500 bucks. At least try to find a reputable shop in the area. It would probably be $60-$80 an hour vs. $100
EDIT: last time I was at the dealership it was $600 for a timing job. I was just picking up parts but I made sure to let them know how ridiculous that was after I read it on one of their signs.

So I drove it to the dealer today, well, when I say drove, I mean I broke down about halfway there and paid $68 for a tow. that engine sounded so horrible when I was driving it, and it finally cut out and died. My cracked radiator spewed tons of steam, more than usual, and the motor won't start, it still turns, but I'm fairly certain that this engine is toast.
