"rebuilding" depends on either condition upon inspection or your desire to upgrade at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a rebuild back then? Might be a 300k car with a 135k engine? Does it still run in the car? Get it given the once over by a decent shop - might find out everything is still strong, or they'd be able to narrow down what should be done.

No ZF though, he used a beefed up RE4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
