Default so here is what im planning...

I plan to rebuild my motor, or buy a new one, im not really sure yet what i should do tho?

the motor has almost 210K miles on it...but it runs really good


i need to know a good place to buy a new motor, or what kind of money im gunna be spending to rebuild it

i was also considering a sean hyland motor, but im not really sure about the prices, and i was wanting to make it a project car, so i was hoping for a stock new motor, and not a performance motor


so i was hoping to get some opinions on this?

thank you

your motor should last untill at least 275,000 miles. i would do a compression test and if it all checks out good keep the motor. why spend money when you can get 100,000 miles out of the stock motor?
