Ok... i have a 96st. It has 315,00 miles, never had a problem. It has been leaking oil for a long time, but now i have went thru about 7 quarts of oil since friday. Its leaking bad. Had a mevhanic friend look at it and it appears to be seals he said. He said id need a new timing belt cause oil is allover it. Question is... what should i do? Get the leaks fixed or get a new engine? I dont wanna fix it if i can get a new engine for not much more... whats my cheapest and best option? What kinda price am i lookkng at for a new engine?

well guys, it happened... was going down road an hour ago and it blew. so, i need a cheap engine now.. would one of those cheap jdm ones work? is it just plug and play or what? i read somewhere that the harness is in a different spot. WHERE CAN I GET A CHEAP RELIABLE 7AFE NOW? FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!
