2 Engine Questions - Plz Help w/Advice

First -

How hard is it to jack up a talon with normal jacks, disconnect everything from the longblock, drop it down through the bay, and then jack up a new engine in its place??? Anyone ever tried it???

Second -

How much does a FULL rebuild kit usually run for??? Or how much for a topend rebuild kit? If my balance shaft bearings blew then i would need a full rebuild correct??? Does this mean the Block would need to be machined too?

I am about to spend alot of Xmas money on the talon and i want to make sure this goes right because if I dont manage to ressurect the Talon with this last bit of cash I am out of work transportation and out of my last 600 dollars.


PLEASE HELP

you can generally find full engine rebuild kits for about 500 bucks (including new pistons)

Ooo Ooo someone from MI

I live RIGHT by Rochester , do you know any DSM shops around here???

I got a guy who offered to do a rebuild if i had the parts for $200 - but i was thinking about just swapping a engine right out at first but i dont know how hard it is hah.

I think im just gonna get someone else to rebuild it that way if its done wrong I have someone ELSE to blame hahaha....

So a full rebuild kit g oes for 500 - if i get new pistons/rings i need to get the block redone right???

ALso if the problem is only in the topend (im not sure where the knock is coming from.) can you get top-end only rebuild kits???
