I'd say that's a good deal if he does a good job. It sounds like he's charging around $500 for labor. Make sure that price includes a warranty on parts AND labor. I once had a non-rebuilt engine put i...

Junk yards are a good place to get engines if it's all you can afford. Most will give you at least a 6 month warranty on parts (not labor). Most local junkyards are not what they once where, most of t...

I'm thinking it will too. I've been eyeing the transmission and then looking at the trunk, looks like it'll go. I'll find out in about 8 hours whether it will or not. It sucks that I bought a truck ju...

If I were you I would go back and recheck all bushings and mounts again. It might be something simple that you missed. Is there anyway you could record some audio of the clunking sounds?

How high is the oil? If it's real high that's as bad as being too low.

First of all, don't drive the car because it might be badly worn bearings or a bad oil pump. It might not be but it's better to be safe than sorry.
