Are you doing the work or are you paying someone to do it? Is the engine in or out of the vehicle? Is it 2wd or 4wd?

me and some budies r gonna do it. why?
You asked how much it was going to cost, didn't know if you wanted to know how much it was going to cost to pay to have someone do it or if your were going to do it. You'll probably need a reground or new crank, bearings, a new rod for any that were knocking and a new oil pump. If you were paying someone to do it you would have to pay labor to tear the engine out of the truck to do the work or pull it apart while still in the truck. You have to pull the intake, heads, transmission, front and rear covers, oil pan, windage tray, oil pickup tube, cam chain, oil pump, all main caps, unbolts all rod caps and keep them in matched sets, any bearings that are spun or ruined in the engine - the rod needs removed and checked for out of round and replaced if not true. Its a lot of work. For the money I'd see if I could find a good block to swap instead. If you do it yourself and are competant you can probably get it done for about $400. If you paid someone, about $1200 I would guess.

Its out of the truck, Im buying the motor from a friend and its a 2wd, I have a v6 in my truck now.
He only wants $200 for it.
There are too many good engines out there. I'd pass on it if I were you.

You really don't know how much damage was done to it until you tear it down. For the cost of the repair parts plus the initial $200 you can get a good LQ4 engine for about the same money and you'll know its good.

K man thanx for the help!
$200 is a good deal though if you want to part out the motor. If the block is good you can probably get about $300-400 for it, a good crank should net about $100, the heads are probably worth $150 or so, good pistons and rods are probably another $100. I'd still take it from him.
