  • These figures represent a range of possible prices for each car engine listed.  The price range typically includes the retail price of custom rebuilt or factory remanufactured engines plus the labor to install the engines. The estimate would also include the replacement of the thermostat and water pump and disposable automotive parts including spark plugs, ignition wires, belts, hoses, filters and gaskets.

  • Note that prices can vary widely depending on factors such as vehicle make/model, technician labor charges and the extent of other related automotive repair services that may be required to complete the rebuilt - remanufactured engine installation. You should always contact multiple service providers and acquire estimates to determine your best engine installation value.
