Worth replacing engine?

I have a 1990 2500 4x4 with a cracked block. IS it worth repairing? What should a 350 5.7 v8 cost to replace?



IS the truck worth anything dead like it is?


Thanks


Where are you located? I am looking for a new toy...and your's sounds right. Any vehicle is worth only what a buyer is willing to pay for it.

BUT try

to get an average price for a motor. Trucks, especially 4x4's in good condition keep thier value fairly well, especially in the north east where a 4x4 is gold. mmmmm would make good plow truck...........

My truck had a new crate 5.7 put in it. cost something like $1800.

Thanks for everyone's reply- there is nothing worse than posting and everyone turns mute.

Chuck,

Around my part of the world, a local shop will install a rebuild for around $1500.
