Well, the sc has been sitting for over a year now. A piston ring ate it and I finally have the money to get my car back. I wanted to try a quick and easy fix but you all talked me out of that one and i've decided to do it right. The problem is now, I have no time. I've got around $2000, possibly a tad more. The question is, what to do. My friend is a mechanic and can get a new longblock from ford for $1700 with his discount. As of now, that seems like my best option. I would buy that and swap it out in a weekend. I could just get a new block, but I don't have the time to rebuild everything else. I live in california, and like everything else here, labor at shops is expensive, so having it re-built or having them do the work will probably cost too much. Is there a better alternative or should i go ahead w/ the new oem longblock swap?
Thanks, as always,
Kyle
