I just blew my engine and I need a good replacement all of the l67 are 100k plus mileage and are around $400 last year there were more options at lower prices but not now

My other option is to drop in a 2007 n/a block and swap my heads I found one with 50k and $300 but I don't want to loose strength in the rods and pistons. is the l26 stronger than the l36 or l67 I have read that the l67 are l36 rods are stronger

And to help with kr I am planning on running a thicker head gasket
