So I have been racking my brain on what to do with my car and I still have no idea what to do. My 1991 5.0 had the main bearing go bad in the motor and I am not sure if I should just fix it or go for a new motor. The motor has 105k on it so its probably time for something. I was thinking if I go new motor it would be the 351 swap but not sure if I want to get buried in that big of a project yet. So my question is, what would you do?

why dont you contact Rick91gt about building you a 302 based stroker motor? He is so knowledable that it will make your head spin. You could do a 351 swap or you could just do a great 347 with a nice set of heads, cam and intake. It might be a bit cheaper too... hes very good on his prices.

Rebuild it using that block. You have a seasoned block and all you need to do is get it tanked, checked and honed. then go from there.
