What's wrong with the engine you have? You can replace rings, valves on this engine without the work of pulling the engine.

Hi, well the engine that I have is shot, and I don't want to mess with it, for now allthow I will keep it, just want to start out with a new or like new engine.

Buy a service repair manual for your car. http://www.books4cars.com/

They have one for a 98 metro for $60.

If you buy a new engine, be sure it's for a 96 or newer.
