dont get angry

this is larry perkins from louisville,102 cars,5 300e cars and i sure dont want to come across as a smart *** but how can one expect to get a reliable engine for small dollars?
most mech that i know say the 300e engine is good for 100-150k and at a mininum the top end has to be rebuilt. we as conseratives go ahead and drive them,bad choice,heat then takes its toll.
i just finished a 91 te wagon,not counting my free labor i got about 1500 in the engine,new water pump,new tensioner and complete head rebuild.
just my opinion,most 500-700 engines are just that,buyer be aware.
