what do you guys think? im rebuilding a new v6 for my car, while the old one is in there, with 160K+ miles on it...its my daily driver, so i cant take it out and rebuild it, so i'm just gonna build a new one...and what do you guys think about a turbo on the new one? if you think i should get a new block, let me know a good place to buy from...

I was a a pull it juck yard in P'burg NJ and there where so many 2.8 is wans't funny.

 

do you think that it would be safer to get a new one? this is gonna be my first engine build, so i wanna make sure everything is gonna be right...what sort of things should i specifically look for, besides the obvious...if i see a hole in a cylinder where a rod flew out of, i obviously wont be getting that block, but what other things should i look for?

 

cmon guys, i really need some info on this...i can go get a used block from pick n pull for like 100 bucks, or i can go get a new one...i just want to know what to look at on the used one to make sure its in ok condition...

 

dude, dont waste money on a new V6... a used one is fine.

 

thanks smurfn...what sort of things should i look for on the block? i dont want to buy it, and then find that somethings warped or cracked, and i didnt know to look for it...
