Why would I be kidding? It doesn't make sense to put a new, $6k motor in a car that is not worth more than $6k, $8k tops... But, the boneyards are filled with Aurora motors. Why? because for the most part the 4.0 N* motors are stout. That means there is little market for the used motors. There are tons of Auroras running with 150k miles on them that have had no engine work.
So, buing a 60k mile motor from a boneyard for $1500, installing it in a weekend and driving it for another 60k+ miles seems like the most cost-effective and sane thing to do... unless you like throwing $6k at a problem with no chance of ever recovering it in resale...
