350X motor rebuild expense question...
My buddy's friend wants to sell his 86 350X. It's claimed to be in good shape but the motor is ticking. He says "probably just needs the valves adjusted" - I doubt it
Which, when dealing with the 350X most likely means a bad head/cam journal etc etc. If I bought it for 900$ I'm guessing I'd be looking at a decent head for 200$, performance cam and piston 275$, bore job 50$, gaskets 50$ - I'm guessing I could easily dump 800$ into this motor correct??
I know all about the other crap - if it's all beat and sloppy then I could dump a grand into the rest of it. So, you guys have built these motors and not me. I have a line on another 86 in great shape for 2000$, maybe it's a better choice....
I'll be selling the 200X for 900$ so if I bought the nice 350X it would only cost me about another grand or an even swap for the bad motor X.
The 86 350X is the ATC I have always wanted, unless Curtis Sparks will build me a motor, I emailed them today
WHATTCHYA THINK???
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
