Hey guys, i got a newbie question and its probably been posted but instead of searching maybe you guys can help me.

I am lookin at puttin on new h/c/i this summer and do i need?

1.) rebuild engine, if so what is all needed for that and what will this do?
2.) just put on stock block and apply accessories and your good to go?

Also with a rebuild is it cheaper/easier to just re-build yourself or buy a re-built an engine?

Just kinda lost!! so any info would help.

As long as everything is alright you dont need to rebuild the shortblock. Just put your new H/C/I on thats what most people do and what i did.

No need to rebuild the shortblock unless it has a real problem which you would already know if it does.

It would be a good idea to check all the cyls to see if they all pump up the same.

Good Luck
