Ah just freshen up the block and it will be good as new.

I got $40 for mine at Charleston Steel.

DolSVT00 · 12-31-2008, 10:06 AM

No s#!T 40$ .... cool

Hopefully I can afford to rebuild mine before I look forward to getting $40 from it at the scrap metal yard!!!!

Pull it and swap the rods, I bet it would hold up just fine and cost under 600$ to get it done.

If I only knew what I know now, I woulda done that and beat the piss out of it. I could have done it in 3 days.

Cheap MMR rods
ARP 2000's
Felpro head gaskets
And new Clivette bearings.
Under 600$ and never touch the main's

Cheap insurance.

When I pull it, if I don't blow it before hand, I will be spending more then that. It's got 110k miles on it and I will feel more comfortable if I got the whole block machined and took some off the cylinders, got the heads worked some

. All this might be coming over this summer if I can baby it for another 6 months!!!!

Hopefully there will be two of us doing a build this summer(ish). I'm just waiting on a fairly big check from work that I'm told will be here any day now. Then I just have to wait and see what the results are for the new Trick Flow heads.
