Some elderly friends of mine have a 2000 Isuzu Trooper LS (3.5L, 6 cylinder). It threw a rod. From my reading a new cylinder block and possibly then some is necessary. I have never shopped for an engine before. Where's the best place to start? Local salvage yards? My favorite import mechanic (I do have one for my Honda Civic)? Somewhere else?
Any other caveats?
