Never look in here, and I am fairly sure I will get a light flaming for not searching...
But, I have had engine problems as of late and see that it's gonna cost a pretty penny to fix from what has been diagnosed... so... Just for reference, lol, point me in the direction of what to get for a clean/drivable swap. 00rs with ej20t into it. I DO NOT need the tranny from wrx because I wont be killing it, but if it is a "have to do" then ok.
I have rod bearings and/or crank bearings gone, and more than likely worn crank... so basically some mechs have recommended just getting a new shortblock with all the internals with it (crank, rods, etc..) because of the labor cost anyways. And so far the cheapest we have found is $2k+. We could do it ourselves but dont have the time. So I am thinking, heck, if I am going to HAVE spend that much on just getting the "same" setup all over again, I might as well do what I want.
Like I said, just give me ideas and need to knows and prices... and a good lashing for not searching.
Thanks in advance.
