Looking for a running used engine for my MM that I can rebuild while I continue to drive the car. Prefer close to Chicago or nearby states so I can pick it up. Thanks - leads welcome.

When you rebuild will you be keeping it basically in stock trim?

no, I think if I went back to stock it would be cheaper to find another MM in better condition than mine to begin with. Instead of buying another MM I'd probably try a different model, life is short.

That's the issue I have, lots of mods on the car, I get no one pays for my mods, but I like them and if I keep the car I'm keeping it that way.

Why not buy another motor in poor condition and rebuild it. Then swap it in?

How much do you think the rebuild would cost?

I'm guessing 3 - 4k and about time I'm done with the "might as wells that will turn into 4-5k

That was my point. Consider a reman long block. There will still be some might as wells but in the end if you go the rebuild route you can end up with a rebuilt motor cheaper and with a warranty.
