What's the fastest way to get an engine replaced?

Well, after determining my rear rotor is no longer producing power, I have a car with no functional engine. That I need for work. I can get away without it for a week or two, but beyond that, I'm really pushing the limits. Actually, I'm pushing the limits before that, but that's besides the point.

What would the quickest way to get a working car again be? Order an engine & take it somewhere to be installed, take it somewhere to be rebuilt, do the work myself, ? I don't have an engine lift or such, unfortunately.

IF you're intersted, I offer installation and rebuild services, right now is a good time, I have little work to do (in contrast to the last 2 months). I have had many customers from MI and WI, and that area...it isn't that bad of a haul, I dont believe. Rent a dolly, borrow a truck, and roll down. You're usually looking at around $1600-2000 for a rebuild/install.

Yea, I was looking around your site. Right now I'm leaning towards finding (yet another) car to get me around for 2 months, hauling the RX-7 back to Chicagoland where my family lives, and taking 2 weeks before school or such to rebuild it, redo exhaust, brakes, some internal wiring, etc. If the rear rotor has zero compression, is it a good bet the rear rotor/housing will have to be replaced?
