    Okay guys, while we are trying not to float off the map here in KY, we did get to check a few things yesterday. The plugs, wires and coil packs are good.... did a dry and wet compression test and #3 comes up with 90-100 lbs of pressure. He looked at everything on the top of the motor basically. The garage is not big enough to fit my car all the way in so we have to wait for a dry day since the rain is blowing in....

    When I asked him how it was looking, I didnt get a good look...lol So i am getting worried now....

    As prior stated, you should not have the engine rebuilt. The cost to properly and effective rebuild the motor out weighs the cost of buying a used shortblock from the junkyard. Or you can get a supercharged longblock for comparable pricing.
