    I honestly don't know if you are serious about the cop chip or not, but just to clear things up - there is no cop chip.

    With that out the way, assuming the engine is in good running order I'd guess about $200-300?

    Call 4-5 wreckers and see what they'd charge for one, take 50% off that, and that should be about what you're looking at.

    well its about $600 for a reco engine so if yours has been thrashed then about $10 lol if its in good working order $200 to $300 sounds about right...
