My question is, is it worth the price or would it be cheaper to rebuild my current motor with all high end parts, if i take it out i only want to put the top of the line parts in it. Thanks!

no i don't, but in the future when it becomes time to rebuild it, i might just swap it for a fresh motor if its gonna be the better way to go about it. The way i see it.. 5k into motor and trans VS A new truck... I'll drop money in my truck any day over that lol

your own rebuilt engine with quality forged parts (rods, pistons, etc) and rebuilt or new heads will run you closer to $4000
