Time for a new motor

[jewelz]

Motor finally locked up. My question to you guys is what’s the best option? Should I rebuild? Should I just search for a used motor? I’m not selling the car and just want to get it back on the road. Please let me know what you think. If this is in the wrong place please delete. Thank you.

Depends how much work you want to do. I've already decided that if I blow this motor again, then I will sell what I can off of it, and throw a small block ford in

minimarine09 Is that cheaper than a rebuild or a used stick motor??

If you're looking for cheap, Jasper engines are your friend.

Find one engine from an aviator and swap.

I'd consider a Coyote swap. If you're on a budget, check the salvage yards. If you're not, Ford Performance sells a crate engine. They're even selling it mated to a transmission now:

If you just want a stock replacement, pick up an Aviator, Marauder, or Mach One engine.
