Depending on what your paying for the motor, I picked up a rusty driveable 99 2 wheel drive truck for $700 and drove it home, I pulled the engine and trans, it had 250,000 miles, I had all of it rebuilt and engine once torn apart was in good shape and would have went another 100,000+ miles
A trans might cost you $200-$500 and if it needs a rebuild then another $1700-$1900 from a qualified trans shop.
