I have a 94 3.4L motor that I picked up for $175, it came with the manifolds, ecu, wiring harness, EVERYTHING. But it also came with a blown rear lower intake gasket, and 180K miles. I am not really interested in having a super fast motor (I have my Z for that), I want something bombproof, something that I can drive across the country with multiple times and not worry about. That said, I'm considering 2 options.
1) Get a remanufactured longblock and just send in this core and use all the accessory parts I have left over to have a complete motor.
Remanufactured block - $1450
2) Get a rebuild kit and have a shop rebuild it. (with this one, I have only seen rebuild kits in the low $500's, and I bet labor is more than $1K for this sort of job, so it is probably a more expensive option than #1
What would you guys do? Do you know of cheaper prices on either the reman. block or the rebuild kit? Thanks!
