I had considered that. I was planning to go with a 3.8 LN Nickies rebuild for that reason. Thing is, I just cannot afford that. So, I found an engine case that I think has less than 30,000 miles on it and figure it is going to break into the new rings all right, and people seem to get well over 100,000 miles out of a block. By that math this block should have maybe 70,000 good miles left.
If it doesn’t work out I made a gamble and lost but I am reasonably confident if I don’t screw up the rebuild it will give me enough miles of fun to be worth it.
