I called one of the better engine builders here in Colorado Springs. I talked to him about re-building my long block 228 for my 51' 1/2 ton gmc.
He said to bore it .30 over and do a good rebuild im looking at 2200 bucks to start. "Parts are hard to find, and I buy all new parts".
Any of you guys have any say in that? I thought it was ridiculous. Of course, what is a good deal?
I have a muddy, greasy, leakey 228. It ran when I started the project, but skipped, missed puttered, burned oil, and farted.
What have you guys done on this?
Bill Miles seems to have done exactley what I'd like to do.
But at what cost? I already gave an arm and a let to get my house. . .I dont want my nickname to be "Stump".
Ideas?
thnx,
