Engine options

[TYTILIDIE]

So it looks my motor may not last much longer so it is time to make provisions. First off, I have a nice set of vortecs sitting on the shelf. They are ready to run. So here are what I think my options would be. One, I could buy a W motor and just simply slap it in and modify what needs to be done, intake, oil pan, blah blah and then tune around it and run lower boost. That route would cost me around $1000-1300 total. My other option, pull my current motor, rebuild the bottom end and use the vortecs sitting on the shelf. I would use W rods and maybe a different piston. This would cost me about $1500-1800 after everything is said and done. What would you guys do? If I went the W route, I still look for a blown W motor and build it for the heads I have.

Re: Engine options

pull a low mile vortec motor, mod the intake, heads and oil pan less than 1000. better heads, rods and cam in one shot. make sure you get the 4x4 oil pan. you'll also need a fitting for the oil pan, an adapter for the knock sensor rest is pretty much a drop in.
