Re: RPM engine vs Rebuilt engine
Well, the shipping cost is much lower than I expected, but I'm starting to lean toward a local rebuild as much as my better judgement tells me not to. This motor has been rebuilt about 2-3 times already, the last rebuild being done by a shop in manville with a bad reputation (done by the previous owner). But at the same time...If I went outside and turned the key, the motor would start right up right now in an instant, it just has no power whatsoever. So I'm thinking that it can't possibly be bad enough to need to replace with a whole longblock... The compression test shows bad compression in two of 6 cylinders. This must have been asked before, but what kind of money are we talking when it comes to a stock performance rebuild? I say stock performance instead of saying stock, because I notice people are bashing the stock parts here so I''ll of course be asking around and researching which parts different people would reccomend to use for a stockish 300-350hp build. I'm not looking for prostreet here, just a "reliable" daily driveable Ty with a little more power than what it came with. Which shouldnt be hard considering there's a 10 year gap between today and when these engines were first built, so there has to be some innovation and quality/durability improvement since 93. (Done hijacking this thread my bad)
