I've looked all around in FL, GA, SC, and NC, for a decent motor, and everyone either wants crack prices, or they have over 150k on them.
This engine has about 85-90k on it right now, so instead of spending 1k on a motor, that I have no idea what's going on inside it, I'd rather rebuild this one.

Im trying to spend the least amount possible, as there is no real budget. I'm looking somewhere around $750-1000.
$1000 would be including a cam with valve train support.

All new gaskets/bearings really take up a huge chunk...about $500 bucks...
That and I need lifters too...
