For full features; Go to Really need an engine for 1996 Talon
Hi guys and girls...I'm trying to help a kid out with getting her Talon
running again...she's sunk every last dollar she has into the thing and
really her shortest way out from here is a rebuilt engine...it's a 96,
Non-Turbo, ESI...high miles are okay, I can spend between $450 and $700
depending on the actual engine we find...is this doable? I'm trying to do
this in secret, I don't want her to know I'm paying for it...I've not had
much luck with the "search engines" on the net...
Thanks!

just get her a different car...sorry to say but most stuff from DSM (eagle
talon, plymouth lazer, mitsubishi eclipse) is unreliable. you can get her a
different car for 700 dollars, it will be more reliable trust me

way to answer the question dipshit.
yes an engine can be had for that price but it will be high miles.

I provided a better solution to the problem.:thumbs:

It may be better:roll: but suppose that girl loves her talon. I've had
problem with my gsx but thats the territory of any high mileage car. A car
will run as good as you take care of it in my opinion. Perform the regular
maintenance and everything should run. Imo every car company will have a
batch of bad cars. To answer the posters question I've seen some decent
mileage(95k-110k) 420a motors going for about $500. Check out some dsm
sites and forums and someone may have a good site to direct you to.

a good idea even if it was 6 inches up your ass.
