Unless something catastrophic happens like a head gasket blows and damages a piston or two, you shouldn't have to.

The above happened to the Ranger I bought at 183,000 miles. I found an engine at a junk yard with 83,000 miles on it and put it in. I think I paid $350 for it but I did all the install work myself.
