97 Concord LXI Regasket the top end or replacment motor

[Mike1stang]

I have a 97 LXI that was my dads car since new I use this car to drive to work every day and in the winter.

I know the upper intake gasket needs to be changed out I was also thinking of just doing the top half of the motoer for gaskets in seals it only makes sence to me that the other ones will be on there way out aswell

The car has been well maintained and I allready have fixed the front end tie rods and struts

I was thinking what will be better in the long run spend 1000 bucks on this or spend a little more for a replacement motor

Does any one know the price range of these ?

Just replace the intake gasket and any others that are leaking. My intake gasket took about 2.5 hours to replace. Took the longest cleaning all the gasket surfaces. The 3.5 is one of the better motors Chrysler put out.
