Short Version, 60,000 original miles, water pump went out, It overheated and cooked the oil. I put a water pump on it and got the bad news. My current motor at a minimum needs the heads done. Also there is a tapping from the bottom end. Either way it is a full top and bottom rebuild if the heads are usable. I could do it but I have no place to do the work and all of my tools are in Washington State (long story). It it cost prohibitive to have a shop tear it apart and do the ground up rebuild.

so ...

I need a motor
2002 Dodge Durango SLT+ 4.7Litre V8 VIN: 1B4HS58N72F154597
I am looking for a used or rebuilt engine to drop in.
I am on the North Carolina coast and there sure is nothing out here.

Do any of you know any sources and or prices?

I will be out of town for a week so I might not reply straight away.

If you have any sources, you can email me at "kevinkcam AT msn DOT com"
Please indicate if you have actually bought from them or not.

Thanks,
Kevin
