Angry engine blown - need advice and info..

Well, I blew out the high end rotor in my 88 TII the other day, so now I need a new engine, but I need some advice and information beforehand. First of all, is it generally worth it to swap a whole new engine (I’m talking financially, not emotionally, because I now I would have fun with a new engine). Second, where is the best place and what is the best way for me to get a hold of a new engine. Third, could one of you link me to the post with steps for engine swaps, I came across it one time before but now I can’t find it….and also any other miscellaneous information that might come in handy. Thanks

Blew out the high end rotor huh? Care to elaborate on that?

At this point for you, its either new engine or no car, so I guess if you want to keep the car, then yes it is worth it. Of course it is worth it.

I can probably build you an engine for around $1500 plus shipping if youre interested.
