My engine just gave up on me recently (120,000 miles). I took it to my uncle to get it repaired and he said that I needed a new engine. He quoted me at 1200 bucks for a complete USED engine. Is this to much?

depends how many miles. longblocks with 60 - 70k usually go for 700 to 800 bucks

90K thats what he said.

Is it rebuilt or just pulled out of a 90k car? And I'll buy your old engine for $400 shipped.

just pulled out of a car.

thats a frikkin shit load....you could pull your motor out and rebuild it for much, much less.

dude 1200 for a 90k mile motor isn't that bad if thats all for the full swap but you might as well just have your motor rebuilt and spend somewhere around the same you don't know what problems your gonna have with a 90k motor prob gonna give you a major headache in the long run either have some just rebuild your motor and save in the long run or get stuck on the side of the highway like I did so many times you can't count on a swap. plus on it's basically having a brand new motor that you can turbo out easily. cause 0 miles. on the motor.
