[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16474658, member: 124025"] Well if they want $1,500 to pull the engine, it's a safe bet they'll want at least another $1,500 to reinstall it. That puts you at $15,000 or more. I'll bet you'll spend a couple hundred to ship the engine by freight. Then there's assembling the long block at $100/hr, all the associated timing chain components, head gaskets, new engine fasteners, etc. It's not recommended that you reused many of the gaskets on the engine for oil control, but none of that stuff is cheap either. It adds up faster than you think. That new short block doesn't have billet OPGs. Do you want a built engine without them? You might not spend the whole $20k, but it's not an unrealistic budget.
