fix it or replace it????

one of my friends has a slammed 87 chevy C10 stepside with a 5.7 TBI 350 that i might get. this thing sits so low the low profile tires almost sit inside the wheel wells...and it's not air susp.. but it needs new engine bearings and a new oil pump.

so.....should i fix it???? i have the time to and i already know how i'm going to fix it. or should i just look though the paper and try to find a new GM V8????

how much money you going to spend on the current and how much are you willing to spend on a replacement?

how much is the truck ??? and an easy fix is air bags. and if you replace the 350 just buy an edelbrock crate engine.
