Did I make a mistake?

Build this engine up dude probably if the head isn't warped.

Bringing it to machine shop next week.

Plus good learning for me.

I thought you were concerned about money? It's going to be $5k to build the engine properly...

[e30forlife]

Build engine is long process and money yes.

Getting new engine in the car I have now is where I'm concerned for money.

Seems like it would be a easy install..maybe a pain for the front drive part but i dont see why a decent mechanic couldnt replace a motor a direct fit..its not like its a true engine swap

Yes.

Still cant get the driveshaft to come out all the way from the diff.

Really stuck right now.

Update!!

We got the engine out yesterday!! Was able to remove the transmission, transfer case, and engine all attached through the engine bay.

New engine got New water pump, New timing belt, new exhaust manfiold gaskets. Still some more maintenance left on the engine.

Transmission is going to get all new sealants and a good cleaning!

Hopefully by next weekend we will have new engine back in car and running!!
