Question newbie needs some help?

hey guys,

i'm new the names Ren... i have a 1996 Camry and am wondering about a new engine... well see my drama is the big end bearing i am told is wrecked, and i am also told that it will be cheaper to replace the motor than to fix it, can you tell me if this is right... and also if it is where do i look for a new motor...
i love my camry and i dont wanna have to give her up but i am a single mum on a tight budget so i need to do this the cheapest way possible... please can someone help me?

sounds like you may have thrown a main bearing. in some cases it is cheaper to replace the engine. if you have some decent bone yards near you, i would try that first. if not, perhaps try posting in the wanted section that you need a new engine. maybe someone will sell you a good used one. its worht a shot.
