no get on ebay and buy a master rebuild kit, i think they are only 5 or 6 hundred at most fot the complete kit. then take the kit to a mechanic and just pay labor. that should save you a large part of the cost

damn 5k! for a rebuild? are they rebuilding it using gold internals?

a brand new engine from a dealership only averages 7-10k!!! and thats with labor too, dealerships always charge way too much on labor....

i would just get the master rebuild kits, and have the block and all magnafluxed/machined/honed and you would still end out on top.... 5k! for a rebuild is jsut insane!

Swap something in unless you have no idea what your doing.

3.4 or a 350 will cost you the same and are way better.

Try these guys...

They're both expensive, but they claim to get you some extra horsepower along the way. Keep us posted on what you do.
