im in socal.
so my 85 i just bought has a low comp cyl. leakdown confirmed bad. air leaking out of oil fill on leakdown test 45% on gauge.
so being i wasnt planning on doing a motor im trying to figure out best option.
option1
find a used low mile confirmed good motor and swap it with howell or holley efi
option2
buy a rebuilt motor and same efi swap
option 3
ls swap i dount i can swing this cost wise.
its bad enough the motor eating into my lift h55 and gearing money. so trying to make the smartest move now as i plan on keeping it for a long time. took years to find the right color rig with no rust.
has anyone done a motor swap and efi swap at a shop in az,nv,or califonria and can share some rough labor costs?
