 Subject: Engine core pricing
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok guys and gals.
Im getting ready to start my fall/winter project. My wife has (will) agree to let me build a engine for my 92 3.9.
I plan to buy a engine (long block) and totally go through it and put it in the P/U next spring.
I have found a long block that I can rebuild but think the yard wants too much for it.
I would like everyones opinion on what a re-buildable 3.9 for a 92 should cost.
Thanks
Trevor in SWMO

Trev1, I was looking at buying a used engine for mine before I rebuilt it and found one in Rogers, Ar. for $700, it was complete W/exchange
The yard said it was a good eng. I'm not sure what a core would be, but you may find an individual who would let it go a little cheaper,
especially around Joplin.
Just some thoughts.
Good Luck

Hey Trev, Are you doing it just for the experience or do you just think yours is about done for? It would be tempting to pull mine just to make it easier to work on. TobyWD40

Trev1, just for the core I would think about $150 or less would be a fair core charge. If you get one from a junk yard be sure they will exchange the heads in case one is cracked.
Good Luck

I found one for $350 at the bone yard in Joplin Mo. It is a long block and came out of a 92 dak with 95,000 on it.
This is buying it out-right no exchange.
This will put the price around $1000 for a total rebuild if I out it all together,but the machine work will have to be done by a shop.
Believe I will run an add in the local Big Nickel paper soon and see if I get any better offers.
Got to save every dollar I can.
Thanks everyone...
WD Im in no hurry but the mtr is burning a quart every 600 or so. Compression is down to 105 or so.
Can't remember exzactly.
But it is about time.
