Default Been a while,

And I wish I could come back with good news, but I actually just found out from the shop that my cheapest option would to be buying a used engine and then having them put it in for about 800-1000$ in labor. Well I only got about 3,000 which is enough to at least get my hands on a used engine. Now the question is how hard is it to put the engine in yourself, and I know the heat is horrible, but if it would take about a day or so would anyone with better knowledge then me at putting a engine in be willing to help?

Kinda feel bad for just coming back and asking a huge favor off the bat, I'm still not sure if I'm gonna pay for them to put it in or try and save the money and do it with some help or by myself.

He also said that I can just get a short block, and I think there would be something else. I'm about to call him back.

Only person that i know can take it apart and put it back is Justin.... Shouldnt be that hard tho.... i think the hardest part might be seperating the Engine and Tranny...

Justin has it down to a science now, haha. Sorry to hear your s2k is still down. Hopefully you can find someone to help you out with the install or save up enough money. I've never done an engine swap before so I don't know if I could really help. I can assist if someone else knows how to swap them out.
