When my El Camino was approaching 300,000 miles I started looking at the cost of rebuilding the engine. It was 305, and every singe person I talked to about it, ALL of them said don't bother to rebuild a 305. No one at all thought rebuilding a 305 was worth the effort unless I was building a 100 point concours show car. So I just bought a brand new GM crate engine 350 for $1,700 delivered to my door. 2 year-24,000 mile warranty. Swap over the intake and exhaust, and the ancillaries like the water pump and alternator, done over the Thanksgiving weekend in my garage. Crate engine make engine work had to justify.
I just wish I could find a factory fresh 911 3.2 engine for 1,700 bucks direct from Porsche.
