in my other posts i have mentioned having engine noise. i am gunna put it bak together and drive tilll she blows. in the meantime a guy i know has a 60,000 motor that had a BAD knock.that motor never saw an oil change. the heads alone are woth a hundred bucks. i wanna know, what am i getting myself into? how much am i looking at for a lower end rebuild? as he says the top is still good. here goes, i not really looking for a "built" motor, some more umph is good, but not for an extra grand. cheap is not always good, but the cheapER the better. i would like to make this motor somewhat bulletproof... but i am on a college and part time salary
but in the end there is nothing like driving a car with a motor you rebuilt, i can picture a huge grin on my face when she fires up the first time an i cruisin down the road. so shoot me ideas, what would YOU do? cam? intercooler and smaller pulley suffice for cheaper power? im completly new to this. i just took my first intake off last week.
