so i was driving home yesterday and i noticed my car had a little bit of a buck. i didnt pay much attention to it and kept driving home. i got home stopped to turn into the driveway and all this white smoke passed me. it didnt' turn on this mourning at first try. second try it turned on but it was missfiring, and thier was a bunch of white smoke. the head gasket broke and the antifereeze leaked into the number 2 piston i think.(dirvers side front one)

so the engine has 166k on it and i want to know what my options are? shoudl i go with a new block and build that up or should i get an already built up motor and be happy with that. you guys know more than i do so, shower me with your knowledge. o ya i have about 2k in my hands to spend and i make decent money and am not in a hurry to do this cause i have another car for the winter. thanks for you help

 

take the time and rebuild i'd say...

especially if u have a car for winter...

my case is that i only have my car right now, but since its blown i just get rides from friends, and taking my time with the rebuild....

 

Me too. Although, I'm starting to have withdrawals and whatnot... I miss my car!

 

well what all is invovled in a rebuild, just an overview? should i go with a stroker kit or is it going to be cheaper in the long run to get a 383 or 427 block and build it up from thier with whatever i want?

 

oh i miss it too!

thats why its in driveway instead of some garage so i get to look at her

i bought her m/t drag radials that JUST came out too.... it blew up that night

i just take the girls ride

what keeps me going is the day i keep dreaming bout

383 boosted TA mmmmmm with 8.4 compression
