Well my 1991 bbsc car still starts and runs ( VERY ROUGH) and has a loud tapping noise..Car will idle for a bit and then die..
Ive been told that a rod is tapping and the engine is done...
Im in Hawaii.....Ive found an engine in claifornia from a private seller for 3500$ ( closest engine I could find and for the best price)
So 3500 for engine...500 for shipping and 2K for install..Im looking at 6K..
And thats assuming that the engine sent to me actually arrives in the condition it was explained to me as a good running no problems engine...
Or I can pay my local shop 2K to take out the engine and open her up and find out exactly what needs to be done and pray that it is simple or atleaste under 4K so Im still under my 6K goal....
What would you do? And Is their any cheap fix to a bent/broken/tapping Rod if thats all it is?
I just bought a SRT10 Viper ..So buying a built engine or things of the sort is out of the question..I just want it fixed and sold
