I was looking at this website and I happened to notice a remanufactured 3A-C I think it was and for around $1100-$1300. It had a 7 year/70,000 mi. warranty. It said that performance options were available, but its probably port and polish. Is it worth it or just run around and find a decent engine? I myself can't afford it.

That is WAY too much man. Drive your car North, pay me that much, and I'll install a 4age 16V for you!

You are best off looking for a low km good shape 3AC at a wrecker (if you want a good economical solution). You should be able to find one for 100-300USD and install in a weekend.

I don't trust some of those rebuilt engines. I've seen a couple of dead low-mileage engines with those little warranty tags on the block. I'd rebuild myself or get a used one.

You guys are right! Too much money and who knows if it was rebuilt right. Probably better off buying a used engine just like Nick suggested. I'm going to find one, just not now.
