found an engine, pretty cheap i think Options

So i found a 5sfe locally, not sure on the mileage yet, but it is 5 speed, i can get it for $500. and they will install for $450.

what do you think?

more likely it's off a 5th gen. seeing that there are 90x more 5th gens than 6s.

btw, what's wrong with your current motor?

on a side note, i found somebody selling a 5th gen alltrac with a blown motor. he sent me an e-mail with pics and said he found a local shop that has a 3s for sale for $900 and install for $800 (into the alltrac, not 6gc). the shop is called Continental or something and still have yet to find where they're located.

anyway, until i get a 3s, you can have my 5sfe (only has 101K kms)..

see that's the thing, i don't know what's wrong with my engine. it could be something pretty serious & more expensive to fix than getting a different engine, or it could be something very, very simple. but i've been to soo many shops already, and spent like $100's of dollars for people to tell me there's nothing wrong, so i'm looking at my options. i thought this was a pretty sweet deal if i do in fact need a new engine.
