Allot cheaper and easier to buy a used one and install it. If you want a 3800 to last more than 100 miles you need a machine shop to check and machine everything which can get expensive.

Well isn't taking it to a shop and having them machine it techniquly a rebuild? Mines now is at 205k is burning a bit of oil going to check in a few days hopefully its the pcv valve and not the rings... So if it was to blow I'd do a full rebuild including having it machined if needed but if seen a few commons here to not even consider the rebuild just replace
If you swap out the motor you will still have a car with 205k miles with an engine that doesn't burn oil.
What are we talking 1 quart a month, 1 quart a week or 1 quart a day? Oil is pretty cheap for a car with 205k miles. I would run it till you have to change to motor.
Seemed like 2 quartz a week. Generally speaking the car runs fine no ecu codes at all. Just bought it two weeks ago so by the end of this week I'll clarify if a quart was burned or not and if it was what would you suggest?
