Get a Used one in! Unless you plan on rebuilding it yourself!
Rebuilds for my 99 2.4L was about 2-2.5K
Used Engines for my 2.4L was 800 to 1.5K
Luckily my uncle had one with only 51K miles on and it was priced around that 1.5K mark but he gave it to me for 500
Personally from my experience in the past month just get a used put in.
Labor will run you 500 to 800ish
