How much is the car selling for, how much is a good replacement engine, what's the installation cost, and what is the value of a comparable car in running condition?

If the finished car is only worth $4k, it would be tough to make the numbers work.

not the way the person I'd have do the swap would charge. prolly lookint at 4-600 for the motor plus shipping 3-5 right there. another 1,000 to swap it in... not worth it

Agreed, and those prices are probably optimistic.
