IF the car looks fixable,

you should really pay for a PPI on the car. Those engines are pretty darn tough and if it's been that abused- I wouldn't touch the car.

Used engines would be the best route, your not dealing with a Chevy 350V8 and parts will $$$. The block is aluminum, so only a machineshop with the proper tools can bore/hone the block($$$).

Go to any webbased parts supplier and look at the cost of timing components, brgs, seals, and new pistons+ rings-


Best advice is to find a better example!
