Actually the engine was fine, it was the throwout bearing. I decided with so many miles I should just pull the motor while I was replacing the clutch and rebuild everything at the same time. I replaced just about everything that could be. I even put in a new heater blower, All new AC except the lines. All new clutch from the master cylinder/Slave on down (Zoom Clutch and pressure plate). Motor rebuilt 30 over, heads rebuilt. Patched and welded the header. All new sensors and modules. Magnaflow Muffler. New alternator, coil etc.

I would say on the High Side about $2500.00 that includes machine work, everything was new, (AC Compressor, Alt etc) not rebuilt so that made it a little more costly, I'll try to list it by item and cost at a latter time.
