Ease of engine Swapping? And is 2k a good deal for a '97 with blown gasket?

    Howdy everyone,

    I've been looking for a 4wd 3rd gen and found . I'm not sure if this is a good deal. I have a '99 and a '00 that I could swap the engine from, assuming its necessary. My dad has an engine hoist and we might have all the tools. How hard would that swap be?

    Mention of pink milkshake or pink milky fluid. I’d probably stay clear, the transmission could go. If you have a transmission to swap as well then have at it. I have a 99 with a cracked drivers head I’d part with if you want to travel (Austin ,tx)

    I’m currently in the same boat but, I decided to go new engine route. My first attempt and wanted to learn but, life always changes abruptly.

    With a pair of hand the swap should be easy. YouTube will be your best bet; can always chime in here with a direct problem.

    cheers!
