    Just bought it with a bad motor. Looking to swap it for a used one or JDM
    I just purchased a 2003 Toyota Tacoma with 200k on it. The Previous owner did a long road trip. Half way through the trip he did a oil change and did not tighten the oil filter on all the way. Long story short, it leaked all the oil out toasted the motor. So now I’m crossed between a 60k JDM or a 127k engine from a salvage yard with good compression, that was in a roll over. Both are $1,400. Which engine should I go with?

    At the same price go with the lower mileage one would be my thought.
