I consider that pretty heavy oil consumption, but the engine runs well, and only smokes a bit when taking off from a stop. There aren't any valve train, or bearing noises. The car is a '91 LX 5.0 convertibe, 100% stock with 175k miles. I know it could run for a long time like this, but the smoke is embarrassing. I'd like to have the engine rebuilt, but it seems like there are a lot of options these days. I want the car to look stock under the hood, but I'd like to also add a bit of horsepower.
What would you recommend? I'm thinking of a 331 stroker, but I'm not sure about heads and intake.
