My 92 lx coupe has a stock 4 cylinder engine buy... Budget is the first thing on my mind... i want a nice engine, but i dont want to spend alot... Is there a site where they rebuild engines, and sell them for reasonable prices? Does anyone have a 5 inch cowl induction hood for sell? And some Weld Wheels? amnit:

No company rebuilds and sells these 2.3 motors. You'll need to buy one used and do it yourself or maybe you can get a shop to put it together for you.
Google "Weld wheels" and "cowl hoods" and you'll find loads of dealers.

With that huge cowl hood you can stack two 2.3s on top of each other and have a 4.6!

You sure can find 2.3's rebuilt!!!!!

Whoever said you can't get a 2.3 motor that has been rebuilt is "full of it"
Jasper engines in Bolingbrook, IL 800-827-7455 will sell a 91 2.3 DIS Split Fire LONG BLOCK, run tested and warrantied for up to 3/36K or 5 years 50,000 miles and deliver it to my shop for under $2,000. Closer to 1,500 if I remember correctly and no, they don't rebuild yours and get it back to you in a few weeks. They deliver you an already built one and take your old one away (150.00 core charge)I know this because my 2.3 with 287K on it is getting a bit tired and I'm looking to get a new one.
Hope this helps ya-Jeff

287K and rising

I was referring to 2.3 turbo motors. The N/A 2.3's on Jasper's website go for $2200.
They do also have 2.3 turbo engines for $2300, I suppose I stand corrected.

I guarantee ya those turbo engines don't have forged pistons...

I believe they actually DO sell 2.3 turbo long blocks at the parts stores, but they all have crap pistons in them, not forged.
