I had Rob Grady look at a car for me in May and he told me it needed a
motor
and that it would cost me about $6k just for that and then the rest of
the work would be...thus he saved me from buying a beater. So based on
that I would say $6k is in the ball park for a motor. After almost
buying that car I now have the feeling if a car needs a motor it 
probably needs a whole lot more also and I would be very carfull about
a project car like that. It is very easy to get seduced by a low price
but it will cost you in the long run. FYI there is a red Deloran in my
local paper for $5,500 (NEWSDAY). I was tempted to call but I bet the
car isn't worth buying unless you wanted to go through the trouble of
parting it out.
