agree to the comprehension part as i’m still looking for some sort of estimate to pull and repair MY engine, not purchasing another one. i guess it’s the price range may be too large to be of help

I think I was previously thrown by “new short block”. As a layman not a mechanic, I’ve always heard the term ‘new short block’ as ‘new engine’IF your block and crank are reusable, you are still looking at AT LEAST 10 thousand dollars.

Reach out to @Fj80oregon as far as possible repair of your engine and see if you can find a shop locally to pull and put your engine back in. If you can't find a shop in your area then you get into shipping. Not to many automotive shops will want to touch it tho and then wait around for your engine to be rebuilt that will tie up space in there shop / store your vehicle.agree to the comprehension part as i’m still looking for some sort of estimate to pull and repair MY engine, not purchasing another one. i guess it’s the price range may be too large to be of help
Gotcha. Yea, I probably need someone to open her up and give a specific diagnosis, then circle back here.You've given a shìt description of your engine. Sorry.
What do you mean by "slung a rod"?
Your description sounded like it was something that happened prior to you buying it.
Beyond that, to me that suggests maybe its punched a hole in the block?
Or a catastrophic failure?
Is the head damaged? Valves damaged? Crank damaged? Rod damaged? Block damaged?
Can you remove and dismantle the engine? Or totally reliant on a shop,
See how this is a hire long is a piece of string scenario yet?
Its not possible to give an accurate, to the penny estimate without pulling yours, taking it apart to see what all it needs, and then putting it back together. It came apart for a reason...... Like @cruiserdan has said, plan on $10-15k. Anything less consider it luck or a blessing.agree to the comprehension part as i’m still looking for some sort of estimate to pull and repair MY engine, not purchasing another one. i guess it’s the price range may be too large to be of help
3) Pay >$30K to swap in a 2UZ motor with barely more power than a 1FZ-FE for the "I did it and I shouldn't have" Badge
Solid info, chief.
I said that the labor to install a used engine (plus whatever that engine costs you to buy) would probably run around $2,000.00.
It appears that both of us are having difficulty reading today.
But with you it's understandable, you're old.
