I am looking at possibly purchasing an FJ62. The seller said that the head gasket is blown and that it did overheat, but he didn’t drive it after that and not sure if there was any internal damage. It has sat parked for about four years.

So if I buy it I am going in with the mindset that it will need an engine swap. What would be a realistic cost if I found a used FJ62 engine to have someone swap it out? If they looked at it and it was not cracked what does a normal head gasket replacement run? This would be a long project…nothing that needs to be fixed overnight.
 
Used engine $1000-2000 depending on miles and condition, but good luck with finding something worthwhile. Rebuild 3-4k. Reman 6-9k. Plus labor for all those.

Give or take a few k
