been layed off since last january,,just gotta new job,,no bucks,,but some,,still need to get my 200 ci , cali smog, 3 spd tranny , all stock,,,, rebuilt.. need to get engine rebuilt,,gonna take I figure 6 months to make my move, cause of bills,,,
outfit called #1 engines tempe? says roughly 1800.00 for a stock rebuild,,, I want a RUNNER not a race car,,, I live in an apartment complex so no luck there,, can't find a storage place with water or electricity to pull off a swap

any ideas?

any help appreciated

 

Shop craigslist in Phoenix and Tucson. A used 6 cylinder comes up about once a month. Often, they have few miles on a rebuild and are switching to a V8.

 

Also $1800 for a rebuild isnt bad.

 

i live in tempe and havent found much myself....all i can find are restoration shops and they want an arm and a leg

 

That quote is less than what it cost to get my 200 rebuilt and bored .040

PO had the 200 in my 67 rebuilt and bored .040 for something like $2200. I'll have to check the papers tomorrow for the exact cost.

 

Also, on craigslist there is an add under parts for rent a shop. The mustang shop in chandler has a used 6 cylinder. I am not sure it runs. But it may be an alternative while your motor is rebuilt. If your not concerned about originality I gotta believe there is an engine shop in town that exchanges those.

found one look here

well if your just looking for a non performance engine. you could go to the Engine House. i bet that you could get a long block for about $900.
The Enigine house is on the I-17 access road right about northern ave. they can even do the swap for you.
I bought a straight 6 for my 79 f100 for $800 about 7 years ago and it is still running very strong today.

 

thanks folks every little bit of info helps
