Fixing vs. Buying a New Engine / 273

...there are enough free /6s floating around...you could do quick swap until you feel comfortable to move up...I should say that there is a lot more work that has to go into your car than just swapping out engine / rear end if you are moving up.....

I already have a 273 in the car, why would I need a slant? I'd probably upgrade the suspension at the same time I replace the 273.
