engine and trans rebuild.... where to go and approx cost????

[duffman!!!!!]

hey im thinking of rebuilding my AE-101 20V gearbox and engine, but i dont really know how much it would cost and where i could get it done. (im assuming around the $2000 mark) has anyone done this and what would you reccommend?????

[Grrrrrrr!]

Depending on your access to tools and a workshop do the engine yourself.. its not that hard really. (just leave the machining if any is required to the pro's) but gearboxes are best left to the experts, they are really fiddly and do require a lot of tools.

And shop around for parts..
eg. Warwick will do the head gasket set for under half of repco staff price plus you get genuine toyota quality... (Repcos retail price on the head gasket set is $742)
But repco does ACL race bearings cheaper than Warwick does std toyota bearings.

I'm just about to do a rebuild on the bottom end of my 20v, i'll post a list of parts and costs once i get them all sorted out.

if you cant do any yourself then a rebuild of engine and box will be in excess of 2g imo...but it does really depend on to what extent you are doing it and if its just a rebuild or a recondition.
