Based on your post info: . I believe the list price of a 3.6L Mopar Remanufactured engine is around $4000.. It should drop in nicely plug in correctly.. Then if you choose, with the prices of Used vehicles today .. Put a good number on it or Keep It. You have alot invested with your modifications.. The modifications are the culprit for coverage under the Service Contract; that is stated in the contract.

It's just an opinion, but i think you're going to be better off getting a good engine in there regardless of keeping it or not. with an engine the market is wide open. If you try to sell it needing an engine you really shrink the pool of buyers. Also, I think most people who are looking swap in a V8 are typically looking for an older model with a good body that they can get a real bargain on....which then makes sense to blow some jack on an engine swap. It's an unfortunate situation you find yourself in. Even if you ended up with the same net money at the end of the day, I think it would be easier/quicker to sell with a good engine in it. again, just an opinion which may or may not be off-base.

I'm curious if Chrysler is suggesting that your mods are the reason they won't honor the warranty?
