No, sorry.. I don't live in TX. Have you tried calling around?

Try all the Junkyards down on South Congress near Slaughter Ln(south Austin). If they don't have a decent motor, go to South Austin machine shop(if still open) and hit them up. Can also look on Craigslist. I saw two adds for GTP part outs about a week ago, one of them was a black GTP in Austin. There is hope for your GTP, just have to know where to look. Also try Budget Wrench Apart in Del Valle near ABIAP.

Sure it's not just a blown LIM gasket? As long as it's not knocking I wouldn't call it dead that easily.

thanks alot guys! especially Tx tanker! i'm talking with Patriot motors (off manor rd)...they're sayin 1300.00 for a rebuilt w/SC under 100,000 mi sound good?!?

Is $1300 just for the motor or installed?
Your saying Manor road, you must be in North Austin near Burnet/183.
Not familiar with North Austin, I am a South Austinite LOL.

the main thing you want is an engine that has great compression. Miles you can't verifiy but compression can be. That is what you should be looking for an engine with about 180 across the board and a new lower engine mount will help. I spent in total to replace mine aboout 500 in just little extras that make the differance in how it runs.

True dat Eric!

Yeah $1300 for an engine is BS, when you can get a long block for $2500.
have you called jasper motors down in San Antone?
