Well a couple weeks back the zzp torque converter gave out. So the trans is out again and back to Dave's to inspect and going to order a Precision unit now.
What do the 3800 gurus here say for an engine rebuild vs finding a stock used block? The current motor was just a motor i pulled from a junkyard regal GS, but I have a feeling based on how the oil was looking that it was slowly eating bearing material. I think it probably had 180k on it. It's fully apart now and I am either going to take it to a machine shop here and have it inspected and rebuilt or go with a used one with hopefully lower miles on it this time. I have a couple I have found between $700-$1000. Power wise somewhere around 450-500 is where I am aiming to set it at, though it'd make a lot more turned up I'd suspect with a Precision 6668. So trans is all taken care of, I just need a direction for a reliable motor setup.
Any help is appreciated!
