Default Re: engine question

1. You would likely get more money at Vegas.
2. You will likely have much more fun over the years with the car than at Vegas.
3. Before you start throwing parts at it check for compression and do a pressure leak check on the block. Pull the heads and check for hardened valve seats and no cracks. If all looks good the V8 slot has been good to you, if not you may need to spend the $$ to rebuild the block. Drop the pan and CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. Then new oil, of course.
4. Send the water pumps to Skip Haney too.
5. If you are moving forward keep us posted.
