I was heading home from a friends back in May when my low oil light came on. I had a slow oil leak so I wasn't concerned, as I had quite a bit of oil at home. Didn't make it home. Learned a valuable lesson that day.

That said, about 2 years prior I spent 2500 on a rebuilt transmission. It has just over 36k on it. I've been wanting to learn more about engine repair and was considering doing a rebuild myself (with help of course).

Is it worth doing this? Am I better off buying a cheap motor and installing that? If so, can I get a non-supercharged one and install the supercharger on it?

2000 with 173k on it.

Thanks for the help!
