best option for motor problem

I love it when people assume you have no $ because of the year of car we drive. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Not so much the year, but the condition of the car is what led me to that assumption. I didn't assume anything because it's a '97. He said himself that he has $1,500 into the car and it looks very rough and now needs an engine. And someone says to drop $3,200 into an engine even though the guy said he's real low on cash. It's not about judging a book by it's cover, it's about reading a post and coming to a conclusion that's not retarded.

^+1, low on cash is low on cash. If someone has 50 thousand in the bank and says they're low on cash, they're retarted. No offense to anyone, but people who drive cars with 180,000 miles (who are car enthusiasts and not just cheapskates) tend to not be rich. Come on, any idiot knows someone can get a crate engine, but saying "low on cash" kinda pretty much says " help me go the cheapest way, i don't have alot of money"

Your looking at 20 hrs at least worth of labor to get that engine swapped. I was looking at a 96 gt with 80k miles that had motor problems and I was gonna give the guy 1800 for it and then the guy decided to have it fixed then try to sell it. I'm glad I didn't get it after all. You are probably looking a $2200- $2400 to buy a used engine and have it installed.

thanks for ALL the responses,any help is always appreciated,and I get a kick out of all the banter back and forth gives me a smile,hope its all in good fun and razing each other,which is what do with my friends as well...and yes I am broke 2200.00 is a lot of money right now,but I think I have decided to keep the GT and repair still weighing out my options as far as how got a friend that might do the swap cheap for me still working out pricing my options,but really like the car,they have lots of potential..thanks again.and if anyone knows of a good gt motor in the oklahoma area drop me a line.
