Default RE: How much $$$ for motor rebuild

Could I get a stock rebuild and a turbo put in for 2500? The motor in it now is pretty shot its smoking all the time now and it seems to be getting worse, but the rest of the car is Mint except for the rims wich I am gonna replace anyway so I aint gonna get rid of the car if I went out and bought another car for 2500 it would probably be crap so I might as well just put that money into this one, plus I love her too so I dont want to part. Oh well I will just shop around for a place to rebuild her. Thanks for all the help everyone and I will keep everyone posted on the progress I make with her.

Oh I forgot to ask, the last couple times I have checked my oil it has seemed really watery its not thick at all, it kinda smells like there is gas in it but I cant really tell. Would gas in the oil make it thinner? And if so I know it cant be good to have gas in your oil?? Oh well just another reason to get the motor rebuilt, the more reasons I find the more I can justify putting out all that money to the wife...LoL I still cant belive she isnt giving me a bunch of crap about it already, she is actually the one who brought it up the other day. I almost passed out when she said hey babe how much would it cost you to get your motor rebuilt then I told her like 2500 she said why dont you do that....I had to do a double take there for a minute and clean out my ears. So looks like I will be def. doing it around the end of June....cant wait baby!!!!

If your smelling gas in your oil sounds like you've got some blow by.

I doubt there's gas in your oil, gas can smell like that. I'd say rebuild would be fine, but you're probably gona do the mounts, thus removing the engine. why not just drop a new one in? probably cheaper too.
