100,000 miles and counting
Thursday, January 12, 2006 6:14 AM
right now my car just got paid off and now i can start putting money into my engine. the problem is that my motor has so many miles on it now. i was wondering what is better to do. should i just go all out and get a full performance rebuild with everything you can think of, or should i get a new motor from jbody performance and start from there?

Rebuild yours or buy a lower mile engine from eBay, junkyard, etc... no need to get a new engine.

did you baby it with synthetic oil, or beat it with dyno-oil?

If you want to be uber safe. Do an engine rebuild. The haynes manual has all the info you need to succesfully do one.
