Just curious on everyone's opinion...
I just bought a 1969 Camaro about 2 weeks ago. It's not an SS or Z28. It came with a 350/2 barrel...I believe that it's the original motor. Currently it has about 86K on it...no rebuild. I can forsee some problems in the next year or so. My question is do I keep this motor and have it rebuilt or do I just order up a crate motor instead?
If I keep the stock motor it's going to need a full rebuild including the heads. What's that going to cost?
If I go with a crate motor I can just slip it in and pretty much enjoy. What's a decent 300hp to 350hp crate motor cost?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
