Need new engine, looking for solutions

Good afternoon,


I have a 2009 Smart Car that is paid off. A mechanic told me that I have to replace the engine because the block overheated and leaked coolant. I've been having the car sit for about 2 years in my driveway. I don't have the financial means to repair it. I have about $800 in aftermarket parts on there? What's the cheapest way about going to fix or swap the engine? Any 4 cylinder options? I have someone that's willing to swap it out. I know I can probably get $1,000 for it as is.


Thanks Smart Family!

Years ago, i heard a tuner put a turboed version of the 1000cc yaris engine in the 451. Someone on here put the 1600cc in their 451. The 1000cc engine swap sounds like a better fit.
