Default Need working AP1 bottom end or full engine

I did something *REALLY* stupid on the weekend (if you were at the FAST competition on Sunday you know) and am now in need of a new bottom end or full engine. If you have one or know of one I would really appreciate hearing about it.

(Hint: no matter how complicated your life gets don't forget to check your oil level!)

Assuming I find an engine from a wreck for example, what is the going rate for same? I don't want to get ripped off.

Get an AP2 motor when you have the chance. Much stronger valve train and more power.

check out the shop Turbo Toys. Guy named Jim there. He buys salvage cars from auctions and parts 'em out.
