David S asked:
I have a 1999 Lincoln Town Car with many many miles on it. It is now knocking and blows smoke. I am considering putting a low mile engine in it because the body is great. I have found an Engine with less than 25K miles on it.

Does anyone know how many shop hours I can expect to be charged to replace the motor?
Also, what other parts would I need to pay for? I know about the cost to replace all the fluids, replace all the belts and filters. What other parts should be changed at this stage?
Is this a job I could get a mechanic to do at home "on the side"?

The shop hours I don’t know exactly but it’s probably around 15 or more. The parts that you can replace is a waterpump, plugs, and wires. These are not necessary but a good idea. Having someone do this on the side is not a good idea unless you know they will do a good job.

hours may be 24 .
in the shop means 3 days.
in the back yard one week. if nothing comes up.
but , don’t make a deal by hours. make wrap or balloon.
not any mechanic. You must know that he knows the trade.

your looking at about 10 hours to start for labor. Dont forget plugs and wires coolant and maybe engine mounts. do what it takes to make your replacement engine last ! not a driveway job.
