Hi `Word,
Do you have the tools & equipment to do a engine swap or change ?
I've never done one, but I've helped other rebuild an engine in cars, boats & trucks. It's a lot of work + some small things add up fast & get expensive.

What is the condition of the rest of your Monte ? Interior/Exterior/suspension etc ? You're in a tuff position & first U got 2 find a job (but, it's difficult without a ride)

It's great that you are connected to the web & can search out parts/wrecked Monte's etc to get an idea of the cost.

I'd made a job your #1 priority & searching for parts/engine etc your 2nd. Wish you the best of luck 4>Sure..Don't give `up on your dreams.....Oh, last priority > No kids >yet< LOL

haha yea no kids at all,Me and my gf share a 2012 Honda accord and im actually waiting on a call from a warehouse to start work,its hard to find jobs here the population of my whole parish is less than 3500 so theres maybe 20 businesses here total,and my plan with the engine is pull the old one myself and swap whatever I need to the lx9 (simple things) im doing that to save a little money on labor when I do bring it to the shop for them to install
