What is wrong with the SD? is the body rotted out? If it is a good body, makes no sence to buy the car for just the engine.

X2 on cost of buying the car plus the rebuild. I paid 6K for my metric engine just about 4 yrs ago. you get a 4 yr 50K mile warranty.
I picked up the engine from metric, that saved shipping, he knocked off 10%, and didn`t charge sales tax. this also included the $500 core charge if the head checked out good on the old engine.

I live less than 400 miles from them, so no big deal.

I know that is a lot of money for an engine to put into a car that is worth far less. anything happens to the car, the engine is going into something else.
