Message	From what I have been through, there are not many rebuilders who do a worth while job. For the extra $800, upgrade and go with the sport 500's or equiv. When it doubt, upgrade. You will not be too happy if you have to pull the motor again because the rebuilt stockers didnt last. And normally they dont fair too well.
