Hello,

What is the average cost including installation to replace an engine on a 99-04 Disco 2?

Thanks!

 

with what? a used engine? or a rebuilt engine? or an LS1? Are you doing the work?

between 5-10g's if you have a shop do it...

 

Not sure what option is best. I'm a newb. This would not be a daily driver. Primarily used for off roading but want something that won't leave me stranded. And I would not be doing the work.

 

OEM is easiest as everything fits. But if you buy a used low miles engine, make sure it has the same SAI/no SAI config as your original in case you have to pass emissions check...

You can get a used engine, but since it will be out of the car, might as well replace everything from head gaskets , H2O pump, to rod bearings. read up on the the many engine builds in this forum for tips.

Turner engines or Atlantic British

 

just went through this last year. Got in over my head and had to pay someone to finish.

$2000 to install engine
$1500 to build shortblock
$800 for a donor block
$1500 for engine rebuild kit from turner

if your block and heads are good and you do all the work yourself, you might be able to do it for as little at $2000.

heres a link to my full build sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...IQl-c_sf0/edit

 

Thanks!
