So, I went price hunting today.

Rebuild kit ( rering and gaskets) $200
Master kits $350-$460
have the rering done $500-$600
master kits w/ machine work plus assembly $1800-$3000

I've never rebuilt a motor myself. So I'm beginning to think that maybe a crate motor is the way to go. What do you guys think? 250 or crate 350? since it isn't a #'s matching truck i'm not that worried about it. Plus, the 350 has so many more options.
