Paul, do a LOT of homework before you jump. I would suggest nothing short of at least a 235 but there are others out there. When you decide what you want check and see what a Remanufactured engine would cost from some of the Vendors like NAPA, even Auto Zone and Advance. You may be surprised and if you can get a discount it would be a good option.

....now, down in Johnson S.C. there ia place that actually does the remanufactured engines that NAPA and some others sell. Just recently my nephew went to rebuild an engine but after "running the numbers" it was several hundred dollars cheaper to let the folks down there rebuild....YOUR OWN ENGINE if thats what you want. Therefore, if you could find a decent rebuildable 235, 261, or V8's for cheap, then have it rebuilt. There are ways to save some money and still come out with a nice engine.

If you want the address or number I can get the info from my nephew. Just send me a PM.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
