ok, slow down here.
First of all, the personal info (side bar details) are there for a reason. Use it. Fill it out and tell us what engine you have. Details!

but engin has lots of power lots of hesitation
Lots of power but it hesitates, or...?


That engine probably has some major problems, rings, gaskets, etc. I might look at the 350 for $300..
