I have 137K on my 95 and it runs fine, are you experincing any problems that would make you consider a rebuild? I figure I wouldn't rebuild till I hit 200K

i was talking to my friend today he says it would be better to rebuild it,but if it gives you really big problems, while your rebuilding you could add new jg edelbrock pistons, rods, get some skunk2 or itr ctr cams skunk2 cam gears you could get all that and more for the price of a stock gsr swap not only will it run beastly but why take the chance of buying another motor that might give you problems shortly after you install it.

Why are you rebuilding in the first place? Is there something wrong, if so what is?

Just having 125k on a Teg doesn't mean rebuild time, its barely getting warmed up if its been properly maintained.

If your rebuilding it then why in the hell would you want a new engine?

Do a compression test and that'll be the indacator of the condition of your engine. Also, I highly recommend just building the current engine in the car. Seems like way much hassle and its pretty much pointless if there is nothing wrong with it.

if u wanna waste cash yeah rebuild it or swap hell if u wanna waste money rebuild and swap and throw the rebuild engine in the trash...

if it runs fine it is fine...

turbo it if it has any problems along the line rebuild it ... makes more sense gives u more money to work wit

or 1 more idea if u wanna waste money donate it to a 17 year old kid wit and white auto DA which is totalled and has to rebuild his car oo lookie here thats me cash is fine thank you!

Here I wrote you an Itinerary:

Step 1 - Buy new motor
Step 2 - Build the **** out of it to handle mad boost ( oh yeah, and a little squeeze to help her spool )
Step 3 - Drop it in your ride and install the T-28 Garrett turbo
Step 4 - Feed that Fu@ker 20Lbs. of boost and enjoy
Step 5 - Clean the **** out of your pants


Good Luck....
