Default Engine drop question...

I'm lookin at purchasing a ti and I plan on doing some work to it. I was just wondering if the engine pulls out from the top or drops out of the bottom to swap out the engines. Also about what is the price for a plain jane regular 318ti motor? Thanks in advance!

The motor and tranny will come out the top as an assembly, or the motor alone will come out the top. You don't even have to remove the hood.

I have a complete excellent condition engine available for $1200 if interested.

PM me if interested...

Default Top is the answer

As J!M stated, top is the answer. There are two motor mounts at the bottom of the engine.

Good luck!
