Engine swap

[Zapman]

Anybody know any mechanics in san francisco bay area that can
Swap out my 2003 4.0 sohc. Just located a donor engine.
Not easy to find vin k motors

any 4.0 sohc will work. strip engine down to block and transfer parts on to new engine. and call it a day.

oh one more thing, remember what year the new engine is so when you buy spark plugs you get the right year. I found out the hard way. some year spark plugs are longer or shorter, causing a misfire.

Whats estimated shop time to do the egine swap

wow thats tuff to decide maybe 20 hours. it might cost for a engine and labor swap more than the truck is worth if your paying a shop. I would guess 1000 for engine, and 1000 labor, and probally 300 in small parts,fluids ect.
