question

ok, so, im not going to do it like in the near future or anything, probably after this summer, but what i was thinking about doing is either getting a swap, or re-building. now my engine right now has about 169k on it, i bought it with 156k january of 05. but the reason i am asking this is because i dont know what the wise way to go would be, what would be more cost friendly? is it even good to rebuild an engin with that many miles on it ?

What do you want out of it?
LS motors dont run that expensive, but it could be a little difficult to find one with low mileage and in which case i would just rebuild it. Of course, i would only rebuild it if i was planning on boosting in the future because it would be cheaper, otherwise, i think i would just do a GSR swap.

That really depends if the block you have now is good if it is just rebuild cause then you can easily have it bord out and have the head ported it would cost about the same as buying a new motor.
