hey all, well I'm pretty sure my motor is in need of a rebuild (metal shavings in oil, can hear "scraping" from motor while driving), so I've gotta do somethin. I've always wanted a 331 so I figure now would be the time to do it. unfortunately, I'm flat broke so its not like I can do a big buildup or anything. still have stock heads, intake, fuel, etc and won't be able to upgrade them for a while - would it not be good to throw in the stroker kit with all the stock stuff? I know I won't get much of a power gain till I upgrade, but would it be bad at all? if its not advisable, I'm thinkin of goin with the DSS Pro Lite kit.
by the way, I was thinkin of somethin like this for the 331:

on another topic, any idea about how much I could expect to be charged to have this thing rebuilt? the block's already been bored and stuff a couple years ago, so I would assume it would just need to be cleaned up a bit. I don't have the space or equipment to pull the engine myself, so I know it would cost a lot, but what would the difference in labor be like if I pulled it myself? I'm sure I could get it done if it meant saving a LOT of money..
hope I'm not forgetting anything, thanks for the help guys.
