I believe shes in Mississippi I looked at her other posts.

Looks like she ran her car without a radiator cap on. I'm guessing the engine is destroyed rebuild isn't an option.

Miss if I were you id get a $2k engine from ebay and pay someone to professionally rebuild it. your looking at a total of 6k with shipping and other random crap.

Seriously dude, do you even have a clue?

I have several low mileage engines in very good condition that I'd sell for for less than the into price you posted and no need to rebuild them. I'm in DFW though and don't want to ship them.

I have no clue at all, she said she saw tons of smoke and every time she added coolant it just sucked it back up, suggesting to me that her engine was completely dry. Also sorry i wasn't aware of your personal inventory.

From my knowledge which apparently is very slim. What I suggested would be the best way for her in Mississippi, to get what she wants done and completed.

The 2k plus 900 shipping ebay engine says it runs however I don't trust ebay and would suggest a rebuild.

The 6k I ball parked included a rebuild and all the random parts and tools needed for the install.

Since no one else had any other bright ideas I chimed in with a solution I worked up in a matter of seconds.
