Guess it depends on your definition of "better" ... my preference would be
to rebuild my engine rather than start over with someone else's problems.
But I might consider dropping in a "loaner" so I could drive the car and

for about 15 years now ... <G>
I would consider this scenario "better". Any one have a spare engine that
meets this "loaner" criteria. I would be willing to put it back in the
collective
pool after I've rebuilt my engine.
Seriously, anyone looking to part with a decent block, ie: less the head,
rocker assembly, carbs and other hang ons? I suspect that my engine has a quite
worn crank and cam, the piston and liners are (?original?) AE 83mm, also worn,
as well as rods, lifters. It was running well (with somewhat low oil pressure)
until a recent 4-5K rev sent something spinning. I drove it for a few weeks
afterwards, but now, well I believe a bearing is over heating.
