Thats not what statistics say. But anyway you will still be slow with 200hp hauling 3500lbs. You still will be in the range of 0 to 60 in 8 seconds. Even a newer v6 mustang will beat you.

And wow that is alot of miles. I'm glad to see another 7m run so long. I would ceratinly say a rebuild is order as well as alot of other things. If you stick with the ge and it is rebuildable. I would work on suspension next which probably needs some care to.

your better off saving some dough and buying a new engine. probably want a transmission to.

The devil you know..... I'd always prefer to rebuild the engine I have (if possible) versus throwing in one I know nothing about. If I want to build one to have ready to swap during the weekend, then I'll buy a core and build it and drive my car while the new engine is being built.

ARP makes good fasteners, but the head bolts aren't THAT much better that the TOYOTA head bolts... they're even reusable like the ARPS, just measure them and inspect for pitting and scaling. Same torque 75ftlbs.... ARP studs are in a whole other class.

is better then the one you don't.

I guess i should of said, " but you will still want to replace the seals and do compression testing among other things."

i think im just better off rebuilding the motor so i know that its done right and so i know that there nothing else wrong with it thanks for the idea though :) what do you guys think the knocking noise would be ? a bad rod ? and what should i get for making sure the top end is done the right way ? pistons rings , all bearings, rods, camshaft, crankshaft, oil pump , ?? what else

Green7mgte 01-12-2011 01:29 PM

valve seals.. good idea to replace those.

johnvin 01-13-2011 08:31 PM

ok thanks !
