I'm thinkin' it's time for Piston rings.. ie, rebuild. Does anyone know
about how much a rebuild may cost?
I do have a master plan tho...
If I can get a rebuild for cheap, I may put a set of Magnum heads on it, and
a V8 TB. Along with the headers and all the stuff I have now, I'll be a V8
terrorizing 6er =) hehehehe (evil grin)....
hhhmmmmm..
anyway, rebuild... how much? anyone??

A rebuild, total engine will cost around $800-$900 an d thats cheap, most
places wont even mess with it. You would be better off finding a magnum
engine out of a junked (wrecked) truck, say 92-93, getting the computer and
wiring harness. Throwing it in (labor) and the engine will run about the
same amount of money. Then you have a better engine and something you can
get goodies for.
Do you have O/D? Either way, the Magnum 6er should bolt up to your older
tranny.
You might want to confirm it though before you get an engine.
Dude, go magnum...you wont regret it.
