its better to rebuild motor out of car ill swap & rebuild old motor & buy flood damaged vibe & repower it with my old power plant & own 2 vibes i can buy off copart a flood vibe for $1000 & shipp across country for $700 so ill have $2500 in a 2005 or newer vibe overall thats my plan now today im renting a warehouse for a week $100 to do job im going to raise front of car up so i can roll power train away & roll other in place & lower vibe down using a chain hoist making only front end raise up , like doing a wheel stand on back tires ill just bolt up swap power train to sub frame & 4 bolts & im in boy i hope it goes smothly
