By the time they get done withthe machien work and parts, you probably be close. This way you could get the 235 motor and be happy.

Personally I would go with a new long block..That is keeping me up at night. I am thinking rebuild for $4000 and new engine for about $5500.
Personally I would go with a new long block.. If it ran without oil long enough to do that much damage to the crank, rods and piston. What about the cam and cam bearings, rockers, Etc. Something I wouldn't want to be worrying about in the future.
Can't get final word on if I can use a 235 due to a couple of differences. I am pretty sure that a 230 engine will bolt right up ,but chat is only a 3 hp increase.
