The engine on my vehicle listed above blew out and I want to replace it. But, I just don't know what is the best way to go about that is and what to look for or where to look.

Good morning,

What is the complete VIN number?

You have 2 routes to take. You could install a rebuilt unit or a good used engine.

The used engine would be the cheapest route but it all depends on how long you plan on keeping the car.

The rebuilt will come with a warranty for your protection against any engine failures.

The used one comes with only a 30 warranty.

Once you get me the VIN, I can determine what engine you have and get you some pricing.

This is a YouTube video of the job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7OfKXu1F90

Okay, I have found a couple options.

1. A used engine under 40k for about 1600 plus installation. Plan on about 3k or more.

2. Rebuilt unit. The engine is around 3k plus installation. Plan on about 5k.

I found the used engine at www. Car-part. Co.

Rebuilt at rockauto. Com.

Okay, part 2.

I attached the rest of the removal. The engine and the transmission come out together and come out the bottom as in the illustration.

It is a huge project to try to do without the correct tools and a lift.
