273 rebuild

If you havent got the engine apart yet you don't have enough information. You may find it unfixable or you may find it buildable. I agree with the previous posts on the cost thing though. I have my 273 ready to put together after complete machine work on the crank, block & heads with the HP Egge pistons and the money was signigicantly more than your budget. You may be able to clean things up, hone it and mic it our and the rotating assy will be ok. The thing you can't escape is the headwork. That engine does not like today's gas and the only fix is valves, guides and seats and that will cost. Good luck with your build though, it is a ton of fun if you can do it.
