Needs more punctuation, periods and capitalization!
Also need to find out what's wrong with motor BEFORE deciding to replace it lock, stock and barrel. It could turn out to be something that's cheap and simple. I'd start with a compression test and a vacuum meter test. Those two will tell you the basic mechanical condition of the engine. Post results here. How many miles total and how many since timing belt/chain was replaced? Ditto spark plugs. WHAT ENGINE?
