Same as the other guy said $1500 ! My old coworker bought a 2003 spec v with a bad head gasket for 1500 and dropped a used motor in it for $1k . Also if you get a motor for this make sure its out of a Sentra not a altima ! He also found out that when swapping it in as the bellhousing on a spec v is different then a altima not sure why but it would not bolt up to the Sentra 6spd . Also the throttle body drive by wire are common problems on theses . You might have to do a relearn on the new motor so the ecu recognizes the throttle body. One more thing the 2002's had issues with the up stream cat breaking off getting sucked into the exhaust port and damaging the motor so a newer style cat/manifold is your best bet or get a cheap header. Good luck

Ps if you have deep pockets go maxima 3.5 swap lol. Tire melting Torque steer like no tomorrow
