Reply With Quotedo you know what happend to the engine? im looking to buy a 4g64 block core if the block itself isn't damaged ill buy it off you help you pay for the new engine lol.
It turns out the engine in my wife's 2000 Galant is pretty much junk, so I'm looking for a replacement.
What's a good price for a running 2.4L engine, and what year engines will drop in as a replacement? I don't want to have to mess with motor mounts, transmissions, computers, etc. Just want to pull this motor out and drop in a replacement.

The timing belt broke, I thought it didn't do much damage but it turns out that it took out the oil pump... I had replaced the timing belt and other pieces, got it running but it was doing some funky stuff. After starting to pull it apart I found that the balance shafts aren't turning, the bearings are all completely shot, etc, etc. Lots of bad stuff. As far as I know the block is OK but I don't know for sure.Originally Posted by reiketsutsukigami
lol well if you get it stripped down to that point all i need to know is that theres no serious dmg to the block ill be putting in a brand new oil/water pump and getting it machined too having them add oil squirters ect ect. all new acl bearings new crank new forged rods + pistons so literally as long as the block isnt ruined itll probably be ok for me.

If I do pull it and replace it, I don't think I'm gonna strip it down.
Back to the main topic though... I'm seeing prices anywhere from $400-600 to for a replacement engine (junkyards, etc). Does that sound about right?
yea thats what ive always seen check car-part.com usually gives you a good idea on the average pricing range.

the 99-03 Galant 00-05 eclipse and stratus all share the 2.4. not sure on what years the stratus are so i wont post any but it has to be a coupe if its a stratus.

I've found a bunch at local junkyards and recycling places but they're all 90k - 200k miles. Once place in Florida has a guaranteed, tested engine with only 37k, but it's $900 with free shipping to NY. I'm thinking that the extra $500 might be worth it for an engine with 50k-120k less miles...
