Its about the same work as a rebuild for a few bucks less. Why work so hard fluffing up old worn out stuff when you can rebuild it. And maybe even give it the 6 million dollar man treatment, build it bigger, better, stronger, faster.... LOL
While ultimately it is your call and wallet, I really think the 5.9 is the best bang for the buck. Heck, for what I wrote above, add about $350 for a new roller cam better suited for towing and really leap ahead a winner.
Still want to spend big on boosting a half dead horse? Try it with a low mileage Magnum and spend another Benjamin on comtetic gaskets to lower the ratio 1 pt.
I don’t know how cheap you think you can effectively boost an engine but so far your acting like a cheap SOB or a broke one. (I’ll assume the latter.....) Boosting ain’t cheap, at least done right!
