but i need to know what the cost is for replacing a rod bearing? anyone know?

Alot if your planning on having someone do it. Chances are the crank journal is beat up from the bad bearing. Your prolly better off buying a running short block and dropping it in.

Exactly....Had to do it for my daily. I pulled a short block at a junk yard for $110.

if thats the case, i'll look for something else. i plan a doing a swap so there would be no point in buying another stock engine and i wont have money for the swap right way either
