Wait, what do you get for 7-12 grand? A basic rebuild or full balance/blueprint racy,racy? I thought you could buy crate engines (572) from the big three for 12 grand? Or did I pick the wrong day to stop huffing lead based paint?
it was hard to say what I might get in a local rebuild. I received the usual "depends on what the machine shop says my motor needs " verbal quote. you know if I want it bored out or not and stuff. I could go with a crate motor but not sure how much I'd need to change to make it fit. Perhaps I'll look into a duratec/ecoboost as there's some crossover with the mzr platform. But for that 12grand, I can get a new built drop in motor, jmf sheet metal intake mani, maybe secondary fueling and new shift forks. That's just off the top of my head without looking at the site. As for huffing lead paint, today would've been perfect, leave a can open in the garage and with the heat, insta hot boxo.
