Do comperssion check to see where You are at. If the engine has'nt been beat to hell it is probably more than strong enough.

Once you get those heads off, you'll be able to tell if it needs a rebuild. Do a compression test though first.

id get a fresh short block and then you wont have to worry about it later on even if your high miler block is still good.sometimes the budget builds end up costing more.

Because the heads need to be on the engine to do the compression test. The compression test gives you an idea on the condition of the piston rings. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
If the compression test shows below 140psi or if the compression differs more than 10-15 psi when comparing the cylinder results I would say rebuild. When the heads come off you will be looking at the cylinder walls for scratches.
