So basically my blown head gasket blew my brand new radiator out that I installed in February I already have a brand new radiator but I just need to get the engine changed but everyone is telling me that once that once the engine goes the tranny goes next so I'm just going to buy a used engine like 700 bucks and take the Gamble I just don't even know where to start to get engine

 

i went to Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market to source a local junkyard that had several 04-05 engines...

 

As Justin recommends, car-part is a great resource. Another alternative, if your mechanically competent, or know someone, who is, and want to save big bucks, might be an LKQ PickNpull salvage yard, (ww.lkqpickyourpart.com), there are 19 locations in Ca. You can by an engine there, for $205.00, with a $55.00 core charge. By selecting a clean, hit in the rear, or side, vehicle, getting a good engine, is somewhat of a given. These engines are pretty much "bullet proof". Prior to installing such an engine, you can have all the routine stuff, attended to, "ie" timing belt service, oil pump re-seal, rear main seal, valve adjustment, new motor mounts, etc. Many of the LKQ yards, also offer a 30, and 90 day parts warranty, at additional cost, JUST IN CASE!
