I'm guessing here, but I'd say $10,000 for a new one installed and maybe $5-$6,000 for a used one installed.

lol.. engine cost 3-4k, labor would be around a 1,000. only takes a day to install an engine if that.

OK, $4k for a used motor and $1k to install is $5k. You can't possibly think you can buy a new motor from the dealer for $3-$4k, do you?

Ever put a piston through the block? A bit difficult to weld the gaping hole closed...
