I've got an older truck and am seriously thinking about keeping it, but it has 200k miles on it. It's my daily commuter, sh*t hauler, buck hauler and I'm fine with keeping it.
What is the more economical turn-key way to go, having the current engine rebuilt to factory specs (more or less) or buying and having an economy, factory spec crate motor installed? I won't be doing the work, I'll have to have it done. I'm not looking to hotrod it in any way, but looking more for the best bang for the buck. Thoughts?
For what it's worth it's a Chevy 4.3
