to answer the question of how is it cheaper the parts are cheaper
but also a little honing and shiming does not give you the same thing as grinding the crank and new precision bearings. if all you are after is a good running truck not trying to win any shows
why put an inferior engine in it when for the same or less you can have a gray painted i6 stovebolt engine that you arent worried about the bearings every time you run it hard. wood cook stoves worked but my wife dont want one.philip
