Need Engine

[Jayd-S]

Well, after 4 years (and seemingly out of the blue) My 2000 Dragon has thrown a rod. Fired her up, stepped on the gas, absolutely horrible noise, and now a giant hole in the bottom pan, pouring out oil.
I will be replacing the engine, and was wondering if anyone knows of a good used engine somewhere, or if anyone has any experience with the remanufactured engines on Ebay.
I want to go stock, not looking for all of the work associated with a swap and just need some advice.
Please help! Craig

Hi Crasca,
Saw this a couple of days ago on eBay and still available.

Good description of what they do in a Re-man.

Hope this helps,
Jayd-S
