Moneyshifted

I money shifted and I haven't been able to find a replacement motor for my car? Where can I get one?

Where have you looked? And how damaged is your original motor?

Are you asking if you money shifted and can't find a replacement motor?
eBay has engines for days

How high did you spin it up? Does it now have a custom block ventilation hole?

You’ll want to find:
An engine from the same model year/transmission
An engine with no cracks, tested, warranty, and provides a core refund plus the cost of picking up the core included

I'd recommend going to your local junkyard. They should be able to help you find an LS for cheap.

How about some details, OP, so we can learn from your mistake?

I hit 2nd instead of 4th on track before. It shift locked the rears hard enough to spin me and the engine survived. WTF did the OP do?

I was going in for a service one time, and saw a '17 being hauled off by a flatbed. Story goes the guy was heading down an off-ramp, and instead of going 6-3 he went 6-1 (probably going ~100kph at the time). IIRC he fully owned up that he was showing off for a girl.

#totaled... Literally. The dealership even had a line on a surprisingly cheap replacement engine+tranny but the guy ended up selling it to a friend for pennies.

Shit happens
