New engine needed!!
GUYS, I have a 00 SS. Im simply looking for a new engine (refurb watever) it doesnt have to be all HP or suped up. I Simply want another stock engine for a good price. Now, if youre aware of an engine for a good price that is HP or somthing then feel free to suggest it, chances are its probally 2exspensive for me anyway l0l. PLZ guys recommend a good site that I can order one from, Id b much obliged! O Im in Columbia, SC btw.

How many miles are on your current 3.8L? These are very reliable power plants. I would think its probably cheaper to fix the one you have (assuming its not WAY to high on mileage). One of the common problems with the 3800 is the intake gaskets leaking coolant. This could be your over heating problem...replace the gaskets with new ones, install a new t-stat, and it could be fixed. Just a suggestion if you havent given much thought to why its over heating.
As for your tranny slipping, have you looked for an entire engine/ tranny swapped from a doner car? It might be much cheaper than getting a new transmission, and then buying an engine too. Just another option.
Good Luck!

The reason why I suggested just getting the engine parts you need, is it doesn't make much sense to be buying a new throttle body, alternator, power steering pump, fuel injectors, etc etc etc if your engine overheated and warped the deck or heads- you know?
