You can get engines for a good bit less if you know how to shop for one. The question is, can you install it, or do you need somebody else to do it. Keep in mind when you're figuring the cost, most shops are goign to charge you big $$$$ to do one. They know how much work is going to be involved in getting all those rusted up bolts and such broke loose, releveling the engine, and everythign else that will go into it. I could easily see you spending $5K if you have to pay somebody else to do this by the time it's all said and done. This could easily be more or less as there are so many variables that are unknown until you get in there. I would say his price is to high if it has engine problems because then you're also taking a gamble on the outdrive and everything else that you can't test run before buying.
