Default question about motor build...

anyway heres my story.. i work at a shop and a customer came in and had a 94 GSR with 157k on it. the car didnt start and needed a distributor. she didnt want to put the money in the car so she gave it to me. now i have a del sol with a d series with 211k on it and naturally i want a b series.

anyway i was wondering what you guys pay for the avg rebuild. i can assemble everything but im talking about all the machine work. also what all should i get done? im waiting on income tax and i cannot decide wether or not to rebuild this gsr motor or just get a lower mileage long block like a b20 from hmotors. im not looking for anything crazy maybe higher compression pistons and diff cams. i drive 60 miles a day back and forth to work and the car is my daily driver so reliability is an issue. thanks in advance for the help.

I don't recommend taking your machine work to just any automotive machine shop. Try to find a racing engine builder that has most of the equipment in-house, and especially one geared towards import race engine building if at all possible.

I've made that regrettable mistake one time more than I care to admit.

If you're in Philly, give Ed's Racing Heads a try.
