Re: New Engine!

It's not too bad. If you're not competent about doing it, take it in to a shop. Will cost though. Search ebay for motors. Can get them pretty cheap.

EDIT for more info...

You'll need an engine hoist.
You're working with the tranny then also which can be a pain if you don't know what you're doing. Whether you leave it in or take it out also... it's a pain.
I would recommend a shop doing it if you never have (and have no will to do it a second time) as it can be hard, but you will pay. Probably close to $1g just in labor.
