I'm going though the samething right now, It's cheaper to buy a used motor with less then 50k miles on it and just change some gaskets and replace the motors then it is to rebuild the motor... look around. Right now I'm replacing my 1995 T-bird V8 4.6L Engine, I bought a motor with 47k on it and it costs me $800 in parts and everything maybe a total of $1,000 but I'm also putting it in myself, it might costs around $500 to have someone put it in for you.
