Engine New Winter Project. Rebuild or Buy Remanufactured 258 i6?

[Genaz]

This winter's project will be the engine: 258c/6 cylinder. Not sure if I should have this motor rebuilt or buy a re-man. Getting different opinions. Never know what you're getting with a remanufactured engine, but the other side says by the time you do the heads, crank, cam, etc your better off just getting a re-man motor. Will be changing the intake and carb when I do this. Probably M/C 2100. Opinons and recommendations appreciated!

Like I have posted before……
Gotta LOVE AMC back then !!
Sometimes you have to Know Which Day of the Week it was Assembled!!
Line Changes were a regular Start of Shift Crew Meetings….

Good Luck on your Scavenger Hunt for one.

Just another Lead. Take the Measurements to a GOOD Parts House.
Ask for a “Cage Needle Bearing”. You will be surprised at what’s available.
If you find a Needle Bearing, Grease it WELL with High Temperature Grease for a Lifetime trouble free use.
I have done this on Hot Rod/Racing Builds.
