Whole new engine?

[DSM IN MN]

This was ALWAYS a question in the back of my head. How much would it cost to rebuild a 4g63T? From block to fully built? I don't seem to be able to find a fully built car that I can afford. (I'm on my own now.......... no help for parents).

I'm going at it on my own now. Any ideas?

$150??
Damn!!

im down in austin and i got mine hot tanked, bored and honed with torque plate, resurfaced, and pushed pistons for a totall of about $300!
The head was s*** not a bill but thats good for you, hope the shop did a good job!

Yeah man, and they even dissembled the lower engine block for me and cleaned up my pistons and rods for free. Talk about good service. .

Guys, the whole time I was meaning "To build an engine to stock specs."

When your younger and don't know what "built" means, you say "built" because you build the engine... Thus if you build it, it was BUILT... I used logic but was lacking knowledge..

God bless.
