  • receipt from my rebuild!

    This is basically a rundown of what they did. I'm still a little shocked about the price because I could have bought a whole new car for that much; I'm still pleased with the way it performs though. I did notice some power gains after the build. In your opinion do you think I paid too much for their services? - $4100 (the logo on the corner blocked it off lol)

                overall, no sir probably not. matter of fact the whole thing was accidental so i didn't have much of a choice. it is my only vehicle; can't afford anything else until after college.


                v8 swap I am looking at but with gas prices.. v6 is way better.
                yea, v6 is pretty much the way to go these days. at 4 something a gallon im almost glad i've got a v6!

                  Honestly if working well , I would not complain to much. Once you get to a certain point no turning back. My car overheated a few weeks ago, water pump went bad but temp sensor never reported it overheating. If known to begin with woudl have got rebuilt engine probably.. but after you are spending alot in tearing it apart.. not cheaper to turn back and change mind. Cracked both heads, so cost me $2950 in the end. New crate engine is more then 4k.. rebuilt engine less obviously. v8 swap I am looking at but with gas prices.. v6 is way better.

                      wow... I am glad I sold my car when the motor died...


                      Much happier selling my car, some mods and getting $2700 cash, then using that towards a different car.
