Hi, I am a student who just moved up in Dallas and I just found out that my dad in San Antonio was driving my lovely orange high-roofed camper bus around and didn't notice the oil leak had gotten worse and blew up the engine. He had it towed to a mechanic who said he would charge $2900 to replace the engine. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere near that much money. I don't really know much about doing any serious mechanical work on my car, but I am hoping that there must be some way to get the engine replaced for cheaper than that. I'm not really in a rush to have it done and I just really don't want to have to get rid of my bus (his name is Arlo). So, if any one has any information about a good type 4 engine and knows a good place (or person) to install an engine an engine in San Antonio (or I could get it towed up to Austin), please help me out! Please! I really don't want to have to say goodbye to my bus!
