Rebuild or crate?
For the knowledge on this site, this will probably be a dufus question, but I'll chance it.
I have a 350, 4-bolt, stock bore, 268 Comp cam, 650cfm Holley, dual plane intake, stock heads except for roller-tip rockers and a crank kit. One cylinder (#1) has a bad ring groove and fouls plugs.
Other than that it runs great. Talking to a machine shop, they want close to 2K to rebuild.
A new 350 crate around here can be had for $1500.
I would chance a re-bore, but have never rebuilt an engine and I don't want to chance screwing it up.
Not looking for high performance, just a little "lope" and dependability (and some economy.....yeah, I know, a hot-rodder doesn't look for economy ).
A dumb question?I thought I was broke 'til I bought a streetrod
I had to go to the doctor's this morning. He told me that my sugar was too high so I came home and put it on a lower shelf. I feel better already.
