Re: Rebuild or Replace

Depends on the condition of the rest of the vehicle. If the rest of the drive train's in good shape, interior and exterior OK, all other "systems" work, then it may be worth poping a grand or 2 to get everything else right.

My '88 is just a small notch above being a beater. No headliner, paint's dead, tailgate panel has a large crack, driver seat ripped, but has no rust (SoCal car) and runs well. Faced with a engine rebuild (or even a swap), I'd probably replace mine. KBB value on mine is only about $1500 at best so I'd be reluctant to spend that much to fix it up.
