My 2.5 blew 3 cylinders, so I am looking for a new engine. I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some info or at least point me in the right direction for getting my car back on the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you're looking for more power and a cost similar or less than a stock motor, go with a 3L hybrid swap. Also, depending on how the motor blew you should have the heads checked over to verify they are in good shape still. If you're mechanically inclined, read up on the FAQs and go for it, if not, buy a prepped shortblock from someplace like www.BuckshotMotorsports.com and line up an installer.
Thanks,
Rick
