Wait you can get new engines? Sorry I’m being sincere & my car’s engine is dying - is this actually a thing you can do or is it just a convenient metaphor for OSs?
How much do you want to spend? You could find a junkyard pull that may or may not be better then what you have or a rebuilt engine what should run like factory, but wont address things like a rusted frame.
If you want a different engine, you’re going to have to deal with whatever quirks that come with that and you may not have anyone to ask for help if something happens.
I think their point is, yes, of course you can use another engine, because, at its core, an engine spins a drive train. That’s all it does. However, to replace one engine with another, you may need to change every hose, mount, sensor, and customize the computer, because what it shipped with assumes you’re using… What it shipped with.
no I got the metaphor - I meant specifically, are replacement car engines a commonplace thing? Not being shitty that’d just be really convenient and I know next to nothing about cars.

Depends on the car, I don’t think it’s too hard to find one from a scrapyard
