What number is the engine?

Thanks, has laughed.
Reading your forum I has understood that for you maximum improvement is replacement of bulbs, carpets in interior and other.
I do not wish to be engaged in useless things. I have my car which I know. All its details and illnesses.
Why if I have a car the donor - I cannot change the engine? Whether my question consisted in that the new engine on fixing bores in a body, to be exact a longeron will approach.
P.S.
I don't wish offend anybody,IMHO
