i have a 91 sunbird 3.1 v6 and i need a new engine i thought it was a blown head gasket but when i had my mechanic come by he looked at it and it is a cracked head so anyone no of a website or someplace cheap to get a new engine other then junk yards cause ones near me dont have any sunbirds or cavaliers in them
 
Have you tried google for rebuilt engines
 
Dude if your mechanic said the Engine was toast due to a cracked head you need to fire your mechanic. Did he point out said crack? is it obvious from the outside? The way I understand it a cracked head can't really be diagnosed unless the crack is really visible because the head must be pulled and inspected for cracks between the combustion chambers. Usually a head cracks between the exhaust valve and the intake valve. But your block should be fine if the head only cracked.


A new head from a place like autozone is around 400 bucks but if you go to a junk yard and pull one you probably won't pay over 50 for it.

Now if its a cracked block thats another story but if that was the case I would go to the junk yard and just pull the engine there. The junk yard thats around me is 100 bucks for a engine with a 30 day money back if it don't work.
