No it doesnt matter how much it cost. On a rebuild its totally up to the person building as it is a person opinion thing. I could easily say get 14:1 CP pistons with a 2mm overbore sleeve from benson with Eagle Rods, ACL bearings, Benson Micropolish/Balance crank, JG port and polish head with Supertech valves/springs/retainers and a mill to up the compression. I would also say get a custom intake manifold made with a RMF/SMSP/Burnsstainless/AN-R header.

Now thats an extreme all motor set up. Do you think you would do it? Probably not but thats what i would suggest, go big or go home.

 

lmao.
your love for motors is abit above mine.

i want to know what can i do that is cost effective to get it running again.
im actually gonna start tearing ti down today.
this is my first time so....
i already got the head off.

i wanted to know is it cheaper to rebuild with ebay parts?or get a f block and slap it together

and what better? im not droppin 2 grand into the motor

 

Just rebuild it with OEM stuff and leave it at that then.

 

so i guess i wont really know how much till i see the damage huh?

 

Also how much you want to spend is up to how much you want to do

 

you can build a good motor with almost all oem parts. i dont know much about h's, but my all motor d build is going to be about 90 percent oem stuff and running 2 points over stock compression.

 

damn lol 2 points!
so its like 11 now.
