318 Rebuild suggestions?

It ain't a bad price but it is a good engine? The low price should be a BIG clue. Sorry, I would not ever consider a rebuilt engine from Autozone.

Seriously, I would go to the boneyard and pull a running engine for a lot less $$ before going that route.

I also know how it is to be in school and poor. I only skimped on one engine rebuild and the results were as expected for what I started with. It ran.....
