jtwmechanic Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 you will still want replace the rear main and probally many other things if you decide to go salvage. $450 is not a bad price, mileage ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I know would go threw it. How much dose a freshing rebuild cost on these barring there is no machine work needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacmaniac94 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 you could always just do that work on the spare motor, that way it is already outta the car, and wouldn't be that much of a pain in the ass to get to the different parts like the alternator and timing belt.
