Well in all reality it might be cheaper to just buy a rebuilt motor when you figure in the cost of a complete rebuilt with parts, machine work and time to build..THis also might be a good time to consider a stroker..I know Frankz has quite a bit of experience with engine rebuilds so hopefully he will chime in with some info and options for you.

Seems kind of low mileage for needing a rebuild. Just gettin' broke in at 120,000 miles usually.

do a leak down test...you may find you will need a valve job.
