Sure you can prolly find over haul kits...but its going to be the machine work to prep the block and heads...etc, on top of that will blow your budget. Then factor in get tools and refreshments for your help....well I suspect you'll spend closer to $2500...depending on if you are well outfitted already with tools.
your more economical way it to get a running engine out of the Salvage yard and swap it out.
you can look at Summit or Jegs for OH kits for on line...but a good chatt at your local automotive machine shop will shed better lite
See this is what confuses me. Why does there need to be machine work? I dont suspect the truck needs to get bored over or the crank turned or anything like that. Like I said I dont know a ton about this so forgive stupid questions.
Why cant I just go in and replace wear items and gaskets i.e. rings, bearings, valves and springs even??
